Le Pot: Hera
Difficile pensare che nei primi quattro minuti di "Eyrie" siano all'opera tromba, tastiere, chitarra e batteria proprio perché gli strumenti diventano mezzi espressivi ben oltre i suoni e i ruoli canonici loro normalmente assegnati. Hera prende forma quindi come viaggio dei sensi e dello spirito, come esplorazione dello spazio nella quale pause e silenzi assumono importanza cruciale, le melodie si formano e si dissolvono con estrema naturalezza, ad ogni minima sfumatura viene dato risalto. Nulla di stucchevole o esoterico tutt'altro, la rigorosità delle forme ed una inquietante tensione sotto pelle assicurano presa e dinamismo all'intero lavoro.
