"Virtual Dream surely are one of the most interesting fusion bands in Italy. With "Casuality" they confirm themselves as one of the most original and interesting bands..."

(Reviewed by Mario Giammetti on JAM Magazine No.86 October 2002)

"Crafted with passion. From the quality of the recording up to the package, which shows by a series of nocturnal visions anticipating the "dark" atmosphere of the album."

(Reviewed by Mauro Campobasso on AXE Magazine No. 69 September 2002)

"Incredible sounds and ideas make "Casuality" a one-off album, absolutely a must for fusion enthusiasts while remaining an excellent choice for the not-so-in-deep listener."

(Reviewed by Ian Ravenhood for www.elettroacustico.it on November 2002)

"Casuality contains nine amazing instrumental tracks plus three solo tracks showing the ability of the musicians. Virtual Dream like to play good music without any stylistic limitation, meeting all the requirements to gather attention even from the States, where these refined sounds are well appreciated."

(Reviewed by Paolo Ansali for www.musicalnews.com on November 2002)

"Even if the musicians are technically unexeptionable, "Casuality" is not a mere technical showcase: the twelve tracks on the album represent a good example of technical knowledge in favour of music... good ol'fusion!"

(Reviewed by Carlo Crudele for www.musicboom.it on October 2002)

"Great sound and style for this promising fusion trio.
Solid rythm section and pay attention.... (and ear....) to the guitarist!"

Futura Music No.2

"Cult band of the national fusion scene"

Trovaroma Magazine

"Music without boundaries, with energy and originality,
where progressive, jazz-rock and improvisation find the right place."

Musica (Newspaper)

"...the presence of lyrical themes unveils a complete harmonic knowledge, while "Hinsanwinla" recalls something of UZEB fame, with its soft atmospheres, rythmically increasing toward the end of the song. The album's last song "Hop Frog" is extremely swinging - and sad in the right way; during all its 10 minutes the composition is realy well arranged and the improvised parts sound great!"

(Reviewed by Jurij Ricotti for AXE Guitar Magazine June 1998)

"...as result: music with an unbordered horizon, steady, lyrical and intense, never common during the execution nor emotively easy. Ten songs spacing from improvisation to rational and detailed composition of musical spaces, without losing the required energy. Over the jazz-rock borders."

Time-Out No.17 (1999)

"Virtual Dream interest us with a kind of Fusion filled with elegant renderings."

Music Box No.7-8

"The band led by Fabio Cerrone, one of the most interesting and capable musicians from the last breed of italian guitarists, presents its own original repertoire which clearly recalls the jazz-rock masterpieces, played with technique and delightful taste as well as energy and modern harmonic resolutions."

La Repubblica (italian newspaper)

"Flash" gen. 2001

Già dalla title track si capisce quanto sia preparata questa band, capace di sfoderare ritmi veloci e intrecciati con chitarra e batteria super veloci. un disco che piacerà sia agli aficionados del prog metal che ai cacciatori di guitar- heroes.

Since from the title track is evident how much the band is expert, able to display fast rhythms twisted with super-fast guitar and drum. an album that both Prog -metal fans and guitar heroes - hunters will like.

"Metal Hammer" feb. 2001

Neoclassic metal, suonato spesso e volentieri con l'acceleratore spinto fino a fondo corsa, per molti versi quasi speed nell'approccio ritmico della chitarra, unito ad un gusto raffinato e ricercato per gli arrangiamenti, talvolta sconfinante nel progressive con velati ma lodevoli spunti fusion è quanto lecito aspettarsi da questo singolare, quanto valido quartetto

Neoclassic-metal, very often played with the accelerator completely pushed, in some ways almost speed in the rhythmic approach of guitar, combined with a refined taste for arrangements, sometimes trespassing on progressive, with veiled but laudable fusion hints, is what we can expect from this rare and valid quartet.

"Metal Shock" feb. 2001
E' impressionante vedere come la scena metal italiana sia cresciuta ed ascoltando quest' opera prima degli Hemisphere, ci si rende conto che di musicisti validi in Italia ce ne sono eccome. Fabio Cerrone è un grande chitarrista, noto per lo più in ambienti fusion e chi ha ascoltato i Virtual Dream, si ricorderà dei grandi assoli che Fabio sa creare. Una nuova realtà tutta italiana, gli Hemisphere e se amate il neoclassico, non dovete farvi assolutamente sfuggire "Mind's Door".
It is impressive to see how the metal scene in Italy has grown and listening to this Hemisphere's first work, we realize that good players in Italy aren't missing. Fabio Cerrone is a great guitarist, chiefly known in fusion territory, and who listened to Virtual Dream will remember the great solos that Fabio can create.
Hemisphere is a new Italian realty and if you like neoclassic you can't afford to loose "Mind's Door".

"Babylon heavy metal web magazine" feb.2001
La concorrenza in questo genere è spietata, ma gli Hemisphere hanno le carte in regola per accontentare una vasta audience di pubblico che va dagli amanti della sei corde ai cultori della musica complessa e mai banale. Provate ad ascoltarli!!

The competition for this kind of music is merciless,but Hemisphere have all the qualities to satisfy a large audiences, that goes from the six strings lovers to anyone that likes complex music which is never banal. Try to listen to them!!

Un album non facile al primo ascolto ma se gli darete tempo vi darà parecchie soddisfazioni.

An album not very easy when you listen to it the first time, but give it time and it will give you great satisfaction!
