A great review of the debut Chasing The Monsoon album on the Musipedia of Metal website.
“They have created an album of intellectual progressive music that draws from world music and as such has a sound very similar to the early Peter Gabriel albums or the work of Eric Serra, as the rhythms of African music, Celtic music and beyond”
“This is life affirming music with an ethereal quality”
