Parthenon logró cobrarse una revancha enorme con la edición de este disco un cuarto de siglo después de que Santamaría y Ballesta dieran origen a este proyecto en su natal Venezuela. El grupo logra registrar un testimonio oficial de su talento artístico para crear ideas musicales de gran nivel y ejecutarlas con destreza y fineza sobresalientes. Las influencias de Yes, ELP y UK se hacen patentes, pero nada de ello aminora la prestancia original que, en esencia, ofrece el material.

Parthenon took a revenge with the release of this record 25 years after Santamaria and Ballesta gave birth to this project in Venezuela, where they were born. The band has recorded an original testimony of their artistic talent to create musical ideas of a high level and perform them with outstanding dexterity. The influences of Yes, ELP and UK are evident, but this is no inconvenient to the appeal that this material offers.
