"Arbor" takes off pretty compassed and peaceful, displaying great intertwined chords from a gracious acoustic guitar (or at least they sound off acoustic) that drives the way to the climax of the song just beautifully. The encounter between the striking violin and the eclectic guitar happens again and lasts for almost what's left of the song. At this point, I realize PIRAS has a peculiar voice pitch that works perfectly in terms of the song's lyricism, sustaining a cheerful conversation with Mauro COLLINA's guitar all along the track, making the song worthwhile somewhat in the end. ~ Review by The Prognaut
