Andrea Cavallo: About the response of the album we're not so satisfied because it's often difficult to find it in the shop and advertising and distribution are very important. On the other hand we're pleasured that many people who listened to it said it's very good.

Andrea Cavallo: About influences it's a mix between progressive (the large part) and other styles that we like as metal, new age, funk and jazz, classical.

Andrea Cavallo: About the backstage of the songs...we can tell nothing, you can think that there's too much or too less to say!! Look at the lyrics and try to image...

Andrea Cavallo: We are overall students at university and we live near each other, we like music and so we spend our free time in this way. Tomorrow we hope to be full time musicians!

Andrea Cavallo: We will record the new album probably next year because we have other 50 minutes of new music, with this new album we hope we could do a tour outside Italy to promote it.

Andrea Cavallo: If we say to you our favourite songs probably we name all the album because everyone has his preferences different from others.

Andrea Cavallo: The Italian bands that we prefer are Banco and PFM.

Andrea Cavallo: The progressive rock scene presents very good bands and others not so good. The problem is that this music is not a trend and so less people buy CDs in comparison to punk, disco or other trends.The risk is that good bands cannot live with their music and they must split (For example Echolyn,for us the best band in this music today).

Andrea Cavallo: About the dying of prog...we are alive!! :))

Andrea Cavallo: We hope prog will be not the revival of 70's but the idea of doing music of quality without the obsession of business. Music is art not money!!
