Review: Twilight zone.it
Refined sensibility, mystical interpretations and ancestral projections of Lys, Spyros (Daemonia Nymphe), Francesco Banchini (Gor) and Louisa John-Krol are combined by Prikos with this magical album. Experiences of these artists transform this musical encounter in a shining work and valuable cultural crossroads, illuminated by ancient traditions and covered by magical energies. Music that lambs Mediterranean, Provencal and Celtic lands in remote ages, iridescent faeric-folk sonnettes and pagan/ethereal poetries. These sonorous currents show us: a Dead Can Dance spirituality in "Sacrum II" and "Etheros", nymphsÕ ponds in "Dante o' Dor²", vivid saltarelli in "Bacchic Feast", heraldic potions in "the Ocean", celtic liveries in "Physeos", rustic sunsets of "Capriccio Di Cenere". Twelve intense tracks and careful sounds, for unblemished musical landscapes, immersed into the deep forests of catharsis.

Review from moonlightshadows mag:

Do you really think you can imagine what would be the result of having five talented musicians collaborating over an album, with the aim of creating a musical journey that could bring love and joy to the listener? No, you can‚t. Not even in your wildest dreams you can imagine this journey. Listen to this album with your eyes closed and you will be embraced by
millions of sweet melodies and enchanting voices that will lead your mind into places never seen before. You will very gently fly from the skies above, after touching the sun, to the deepest waters of the seas, to find yourself talking with several mermaids lost in the endless blue of the oceans. you will feel strong as the wind, free as a bird, pure as a new born
child, light as a feather, calm as a tranquil sea in the summer night and simultaneously here is the magic of this album congregated- sad as a solitary king, depressed like a father who has lost all of his children, nostalgia as if you were an immigrant that has left his country for good, painful as a husband whose wife is lying dead in his arms, the emptiness
that fills you when you are totally forsaken. A piece of music that blends so nicely all these different emotions. A piece of art that speaks straight to your heart. A trip that has no chronicle boundaries, as if we have entered a cloister. Starting from the pride times of Ancient Greece/ Hellas to the glorious years of the Roman Empire till the more recent times of Renaissance until we reach the last stop of our eternal voyage which lies in our modern Europe.What Spyros Giasafakis (Daemonia Numphe), Franscesco Banchini (GOR), Louisa John-Krol, Marlene Etrillard and Frederic Chaplain (Lys) have created is
beyond any description and, I suppose, their own expectations. Those five individuals that were sharing the same musical vision managed to capture in a cd and display to the whole world the ethereal and magical powers of music. By using their exceptional musicianship and exquisite voices in perfect harmony while being inspired by the beauty of Clisson (place where
the recordings took place) the artists behind this compilation show us how can love be the guiding light in our lives. In case you really love what you do, you‚ll taste for once true happiness and joy. Or at least be released for a while from the ghost of depression.The meeting of these five musicians has offered to mankind a monumental album (this word seems so small when talking about masterpieces like this one) that can stand as a proud example of how music can connect people and
bring them closer. In these difficult times that we are going through, when actually every civilization loses its unique characteristics and all countries are boiling over the same melting pot, music can be the answer, if it is combined with the appropriate love from the artist and the listener. You can consider me as a romantic fool, and maybe I am. On other occasion I might be completely seduced by the beauty of this recording, but again, who cares? To tell you the truth, I prefer to spend a few moments lost in these romantic/ impossible thoughts of mine instead of being overwhelmed by my everyday obligations If you share the same opinion with me, then book a ticket for this journey as soon as possible you won‚t regret it. I don‚t think there is one single person in this world that cannot be touched/ moved by this music, even a little tiny bit."
