Its sharp rock songs and Mongolian-influenced middle stretch make a coherent, recognisable statement, with enough contrast and texture to reward returns.

What we noticed

  • The first three tracks establish a guitar-and-drum rock pulse; the sequence then turns to the more spacious, Mongolian-influenced Ongii, Gobi and Bolormaa before Accade returns to direct song form.
  • Forma e sostanza is built around a clipped, repeating riff, while the closing M'importa 'nasega shifts the record toward a looser, dialect-led finish.

Influence 6/10

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
