A work consecrated to the myths of Atlantis, to the legendary continent of Mu and to the esoteric Agharti can be touching and serious only if made by a band like Ataraxia, that, after long years of almost ignored work, had finally some years ago reached the fame and consideration that they deserved from fans all over Europe and the world. Those who know their sensibility, the way of inspiring themselves so close to psychic methods know that this work is sincere and come from the heart of the members of the band, and maybe, for some inspirations, also from "someone" who knows more than us about these subjects. The Early Days is a very short intro Daytia (a presumed town of Atlantis) and Mu-land are in the most classic Ataraxia style, Aperlae, a song that last about ten minutes, is dedicated to a sunken Lycian town and starts with the sounds of waves that melt with melancholically sweet guitars and synths. The voice of Francesca Nicoli sings words inspired by this tragedy and at the end plays words accompanied again by the sound of waves. Dolphins is an enchanting song with a magical halo dedicated to these intelligent and mysterious creatures. Agharti start with some frightening vocals that might make come to mind the threshold Guardian and continues with a blissful atmosphere fitting with the holiness of the place. Fountains transmits the uneasiness of being in front of the strange water beings that try to communicate with us with whispers and odd sound. Oduarpa is a melancholic song dedicated to a presumed Atlantidean scientist who was supposed to practice bioengineering crossing men and animals (a warn to our days by a lost world?). Lost Atlantis is a touching march describing the destruction of this mythical continent by waves and lava. The Land Of Sand Of Gold Of Ruin has a quite blue atmosphere, a sad farewell to life and humanity. Departure reprises the music of Lost Atlantis with the voice of Francesca Nicoli that plays in different languages "I don't mind the harmony of waters I'm looking nothing but dissonances".
