The Brazilian background can be heard in some tracks but overall the sound of the group is rather universal. The vocals, that are somewhat reminiscent of Jon Anderson, are in English and delivered convincingly. This is a varied and mature album.

The music of NAVE probably mostly pleases fans of symphonic progressive that don’t mind influences from a few other genres thrown in as well.
