La Ciudad Esmeralda is a tribute to the rock-ambient band Ulver. References to this Norwegian band is particularly pronounced in the use of solo sax and in the atmosphere, extremely dilated, mixing post rock and lounge music.

Return Of The Sorcerer - A Side

Innsmouth introduces the main theme of the eponymous town. Atmosphere follows the protagonist's thoughts: first, lively and full of expectations, reflecting the arrival in the mysterious town, then becomes dark and dramatic to emphasize the discovery of the horrors that lurk inside.

The Awakening, the opening track, describes the awakening of the protagonist "in medias res", that is not waking up on the beach (which coincides with the beginning of the book) but another mysterious awakening which will be read about later. The composition is very orchestral-oriented, and many have noted certain similarities with recent works of Philip Glass, especially because of the winds and the dark and dreamy atmosphere.

The Last Vestige Of Gaia is a long suite (running time: 20 minutes). Its lenght closely resembles the experiments on first Seizon album but this time, in order to make it easier to play, track has been divided into 10 sections: Principium, Fuga, Bellum, Caeleste Signum, Planctus, Ira , Spes, Fortitudo, Salus, Exitus. From thematic point of view the ten steps of  The Last Vestige Of Gaia tells the biblical story of Moses and his exodus from Egypt through actions and emotions of the Chosen People. The search for a new earth (the Promised Land of the Jews), a new world in which start life anew, in many ways reflects the sensitivity of Gaia's Vestige lyrics, always guided by the odes to nature and the narration of the Vestiges of the Earth, or what is left of our world. From musical point of view this song is a selection of different themes by Gaia's Vestige (to be precise, is a selection of music and lyrics written entirely by Zampieri): "The Same Crystal", "The Obsidional Chronicle", "Winter Is The Law", all mixed up in order to appear completely different from the original version.

The Dark Movements 2 is the ideal continuation of  Cosmic Imagination, the opening track of  The Dark Movements album, and again the same old issues related to the Great Old Ones, particularly to Cthulhu. As with the first chapter of the saga, even in this case was released along with a video clip, courtesy of Sean Branney from HP Lovecraft Historical Society, a footage from the famous movie "The Call of Cthulhu". The Dark Movements 2 was also the first single, presented several months before the official release of  The Last Vestige Of Gaia, and produced in a vinyl picture disc limited edition, printed on request.

The Mask Said is another tribute to Gaia's Vestige, but developed in a different way from the first. Indeed, while The Last Vestige Of Gaia is a long improvised suite, played with the overdubbing technique and based on 3 old songs, in this case we are dealing with a perfect orchestral transposition of  The Mask Said, taken from the debut album of Gaia's Vestige Sekai No Ato, sequencing MIDI through many orchestral samples.

The Dark Movements 3 is the final chapter of The Dark Movements trilogy. In this case, the orchestral section is combined with a post rock one. The reason for this choice is related to the subject of the song: no more Cthulhu but rather Dagon and his followers from the deep sea. The videoclip of the track was created with the help of filmmaker Alessandro Piazza: it's a short film starring Piazza and Zampieri, written and filmed by director himself, and fitting the atmosphere of the town of Innsmouth and its remote depths.
