Alrihkh Quite a pleasant listening experience. The Canterbury sound is what appeals to me the most; the smooth flow of the music. Izaga’s voice is a pleasure to listen to. The only drawback for me is that the lyrics are a bit hard to follow. However, the language of music expressed here more than makes up for that. The inclusion of sax & flute are also very nice. This is good melodic prog. 7.5+/10. Favorite track: The Bumpy Road to Knowledge (Alt. Version).

moontanmadness Absolutely superb modern prog - can't stop playing it. Hints of Canterbury, Genesis, Camel flute, even notes of Magenta. Very catchy tunes (yes, I know prog is not supposed to be catchy).

Just great!

(now two of my current favorutie bands are Spanish - The Flying Caravan and Cheetoh's Magazine) Favorite track: The Bumpy Road to Knowledge.

Sixteen years is enough said Robbie This has been our final dance We have tempted fate a lot of times Looking forward to the finish line. We were taken to this magic place, No more looking back, we were just there That last song made us feel so gloomy Witness to our farewell. I’ll try to keep myself busy This is ending and I feel so stuck Nights and days went by with our best smile Life and music slid 2000 miles Woodstock was such a wonderful place Hang in there! It made us feel all right That last song fills our souls with gloom Folding wings to come home. The road knew all we had to learn Let’s do our best to go ahead Ooohhh, music took us anywhere Not always on the right way I can no longer stay in here In this flying caravan Every road that we have sailed Was a mystery that hides in days We were following the mermaid’s song I never heard a sound like that before The goodbye buried that last song It’s beneath the stage, I feel it grow People felt sadness sprang to Bloom From that ground to come home

The only goal I wanna think Is getting beyond my reach. This city smells like a set meal, As mud on an autumn’s leaf…Ooohhh water Was always too cold to swim, And mountains too high to leap I never took a bet on me So lazy as I used to be Troubles growing fast, my path spins around…I feel guilty and sick We hardly have time to try it…before we get wrong To try out a plan, that’s what life is made of… Like a pilgrim at a crossroad, where the stars link to the ends, Still and tired in a lonely place Without a heaven or a hell a silent peaceful cry Nothing but love can rescue us from this pain Time to go up the river looking for hope Feeling shivers into my bones Trying to shift shades that have become so grey So Long distance, looking ahead Troubles growing fast, my path spins around…I feel guilty and sick We hardly have time to try it…before we get wrong To try out a plan, that’s what life is made of… Ready to travel upstream to Manonash In search for a truth under the sun Bye to my old life, no looking back Till Manonash

Sometimes love is acting weird It breaks after Every step that we take just to gird Hopes to rafters With our fears and dreams we spin around Chasing those aims That the time still put out the fire Uuuhhh And we couldn’t reach the sun With our arrows But this race give us more happiness In our barrow Endless aim can give us lots of time To see more landscapes With what is to come seduce our nights I don’t know If this mad hopes Were born to die That loss is growing Kissing finish lines Until my feet don’t fail me I will walk this sin Is the way we roll this road I beg for it never dies That’s love’s labour mislaid Greatest Works are never closed Feeding our souls We could travel without quenching thirst Boredom’s ransom Then our lives will always turn and round Letting me down Is love’s labour what raise my head up

Lights are disappearing through the embrace of night And a tiny ray brush the clouds and rain Oh this is the time everything rests in the dark And our own dark give us a truce at dawn No matter how far you went this day in your loss What we seek is dust, don’t regret Now when the lighthouse is telling all the lies Show us the endless way without return… And what is to come Hears and whispers a life without ghosts “Old” is dying out One life comes… Ooohhh Bails out our heartbeats We sprinkle reason and truth And bad goes away Word is in out mouths It stops the bangs from the fist Freezing loads of feels Freezing piles of hate World is rocking the man Inside a cradle of calm Leafy knowledge cover the pain No matter how far you went this day in your loss What we seek is dust, don’t regret Now when the lighthouse is telling all the lies Show us the endless way without return… And what is to come Hears and whispers a life without ghosts “Old” is dying out One life comes… Ooohhh Bails out our heartbeats We sprinkle reason and truth And bad goes away Blurry glance of my eyes Is burning out on fire There is no praise for kings in this wisdom time… Wind takes all the dirt Cleaning the land after blast Building life and thoughts Closing doors of rage Well that misty night Must be the last of that life So this fortress walls fade out… We had a grim past We played our roles But it’s all we want and it’s all that we are fighting for Minds have been raised Have tamed our fears Here is the crash and that crack is enlighting us Being more than our mortals sight We are poets of dreaming Our stories is woven With tyrant thread Here in the age when the reason wins the rugs from ground The truth is measured By the weight of your soul Elsewhere the frontiers disappear beyond the sea Don’t refuse a new glance Just close your eyes And shake your rugged mind while calm sigh Split the past Now the shadowing hoods disappear You can look at yourself… And we decide and we create the main speech from the throne In a new world where there is no place for lies and “make believe” On the branches of the night lies our hope…

I’m walking in this cold You ask me how I arrived here To this senseless life Yes, I’m not a common homeless My past was full of choices I just changed my sight That night I broke away So fast I’m not regretting I was working in streetlights At down It was my routine It shook my senses A light in the dark Was so unreal Unearthly I felt small Change the lane… Oh, perhaps I let you down I was a simple worker I had a normal life Well, I got out all my duties That night knocks over my wishes And I give up that scam Oh even if this world Goes mad I can’t go after I’m thousand miles away Due North Where lights are shining Lights went away And I twirl my trace That change of view Makes me get Out of here Out of this jail Earth spun fast More faster than me And that’s all my stories The unknown changed my mind I’m not a mad man And I will never be What they expected I play a different show Out of this downtown Out of these races Life is full of those gaps Don’t try it to fill it with lies What I saw was So real…

For so long I’m embedded in this line Stuck between past and future Nothing comes back nothing is the same All my dreams flooded in the void way I feel so alone, but I don’t know why I still prefer the wild side When the solitude just shake your inner It feels like kick your head to daylight My doorbell rang any day… Now I saw the solitude behind door She just gave me a wink and felt like home Settle in my life was her goal She drinks my best wine She is not in a hurry Has a whole time to seduce me Now all my aims are sleeping in calm No more passion No more worries I can’t deny the way life holds me The solitude loves every inch of my heart, drying my thoughts The ways she grabs me is so seductive An insane surrounding, a reckless calm is digging slowly in my soul A clouded song inside my head A voiceless sound can move the stones Go with the trend I have no flames in my heart And I can’t burn in darkest nights Oh sweet loneliness Passion feeds your dreams and keeps them safe But it fades away with your doubts Love forever this sadness can’t be wrong There is no remedy for my soul Inside lonely trench I feel save No more affects can disturb me I know is winter inside my heart What is frozen can’t go rotten

Feel this Feel this anguish Ahhh… Hanging on to my dreams I try I try not to forget They live Through us Outside All is darkness In my mind It still is there I can’t I can’t forget it all Tell me How could I? There are things out there so weird We couldn’t understand it It’s showing us that minds are slept And we don’t know everything No, it’s not easy to hit the rhythm To catch the tone and harmony When music sheet is going to mess When you play at first sight So often we invent ourselves---in A place where we feel real This bubble may protect our aims The mistery is not our game But now for me is impossible---to Ignore that rare side of the world That’s why I feel so sleepless That’s why I feel so ill Racking my brain with my fate Shuffling my three options Swim upstream is so exhausting It goes to the bitter end I can dive in to the flow Losing care, where can I go? The river fights me in a sweet dance And it means my defeat I know I can use the flow And let it take me Take me where I want ¡River! Bring me to another place Maybe To the end.

Now if you stop and take a look around Yeeeh Into the life of any of us Uhhh This world had changed into a mall Three thousand hours of advertisements Yeeeh Are pretty lullabies for our youth The States just try to muzzle your mouth And silent your dreams With virtual lies and crap TV Take a step outside that screen Take a look at what you feel Could you believe me if I tell you that we live, we live in a crazy world? We don’t trust which is fact But we have faith in lies, all the lies, all the damned lies. This is a mess, a fraud life Those who have the power, those who have the command They want you dumb, they want you blind, they want you mute. The church, the orator, the teacher They all are talking about peace Buda, the prophets They talks about peace The politician in political campaign He talks about peace They want you in calm, they want you blind they want you docile and resigned. Produce, spend, produce, spend Now is time to wish for more We are all a product for work, a product to buy, Now is time to stir up, to open your soul

Sometimes the life face you up on the way Step on the breaks and check out your map again Here is the meeting point with disenchantment I use to think that lessons from the past arrive too late Where did so many doubts, so many pains come from? Try to tame this moment, how? Present is like a wild beast in jungle frame I dance with odds My heart mistrusted all those around us But I can change this feelings watching with a gaze of love Now I feel strong, I can see the things from above And cut this roots of this sick and old mind that I can’t hold on Spring is flying around buildings, city is full of bloom Leaves brush your soul and heal your wounds Feeling free, I write with fire and fight with force I dance with odds A ray of light Put lights on virtues This glance of love Makes me sing for you This song of madness This is our anthem Was born to hear it A ray of light Put lights on virtues This glance of love Makes me sing so strong This song of madness This is our anthem Was born to hear it
