The album title resumes the concept that inspired the whole work: things and
people often appear so close, while they're so far, especially in the
contemporary ‘virtual’ and global world.
Incommunicability increases distances between people, self-alienation
increases the isolation of an individual from the rest of the world and
technology can enable dramatic consequences to happen. However human
beings have the power to avoid all these things by listening to their heart and
living their real lives first.

Some impressions of the album:
Adam Holzman (Steven Wilson band / Miles Davis)
I checked out the tracks… Some very good stuff there! Very nice vocals, and
good song writing. I liked the quiet, moody sections with the electric piano.
Your record overall sounds very strong!
David Jackson (ex Van der Graaf Generator)
It is a fantastic new album! Great new material and great performances
throughout – and fantastic production. Vocals have reached a new realm!
CONGRATULATIONS!
David Robinson (Classic Rock Society. U.K.)
I’ve just listened to the new album (about 5 times!)...wow...I was not
expecting that! I have to say, I think it’s excellent. Great songs, modern
sound, and very good playing. I think it’s your strongest release for sure.
David Cross (ex King Crimson)
I am enjoying the new album – great work!
Billy Sherwood (Yes)
