A review by

I can easily picture a younger band listening to Ennio Morricone's scores; the whole album unwraps itself within a surreal concept that involves a made-up story that ends where it begins, complicated for you? Well that's exactly why this album worths so much, it will make you think a lot!
Musically we're facing towards a very complex face; the band has NO physical genre whatsoever, the album goes from technical Jazz, to multi-faceted orchestra and even a couple of truly agressive bits here and there (faster than many Grindcore bands out there actually), it's of course an instrumental piece, similar to what Kaada did in "Music For Movie Bikers" only with a more hardcore and rockish glance and without the chanting vocal solos.
"Palace Of Mirrors" is a brilliant album, for smart people only; while closed-minded listeners won't have the chance to fully attract the core and concept of this record, many of us will take our times to analyse every single hint and every part of this artistic package. The final result is incredibly worthwhile, spastic over the skin, technical veins, progressive rampage and incompatible music, more than what most people can take in one sitting.
Best Traces: "Palace Of Mirrors", "Palace Of Mirrors Reprise", "Colosal Risk"

HELL YEAH!  Estradasphere is brilliant. It's one of the biggest discoveries in recent months for me. A band with no boundaries simply blows your brains out. Out of their albums you can get anything, from Jazz to Metal and everything inbetween and outside. You even get Super Mario tunes on some album. Those who are interested in other albums, try "Quadropus" or "Buck Fever" - you won't be disappointed if you have an open mind towards such experimental music.I. PS. And where's the thanks for pointing this band out to you Herz?  Eh? EH?

"The Terrible Beautypower Of Meow" Sounds like the most epic track ever.

These guys are brilliant! And they had to come out of the Bay Area (best place ever). I want this album so bad, I have looked everywhere even on the internet and nothing, DAMN!

Eh, it's nice and all but I feel it lacks something. Has its moments but could be better.
