this is a beautifully constructed symphony. it sends me soaring in the clouds of my mind, great intro to the album and the album as a whole is an adventure. some of it pleasant, some of it rugged, with ups and downs on the journey. it really does sound like a zoo at times as i imagine the horns as elephants at times. great collection of tracks! it really reminds me of Mestís’ early work.

I’ve enjoyed music by Into The Moat since 2004-ish. I didn’t get an opportunity to see them live but that’s okay. I remember when The Campaign released and feeling like it was a very mature album although my favorite is still the original 2003 release Means by Which the End is Justified although the re-recording of it is absolutely enjoyable. i remember listening to a demo of a school project on myspace that the bassist did. would love to hear stuff like that again too. much love to this band
