A new album review from Roberto Mandolini is in this months edition of Rockerilla magazine.Thank you!

"A work divided in half: in the first part, the 'usual' fusion of exotic atmospheres stuffed dreamy sounds; in the second, a psychedelia that is always colorful but closer to jazz. NEW DIRECTIONS."
