(Julió de Paula - Cultura FM)

Afro-Brazilian songs, which have characterized Axial since their first Album AXIAL (2004), songs by Brazilian authors and a growing number of own compositions appear in SENOIDE (2007) und SiMBiOSE (2011) and show the consequent maturation of the group's electro-organic style, which confirms its South-American identity without losing the antenna to universal music. Ambient, Trip hop, Elektro-Rock, MPB, world music are some terms to describe the hyper sensorical performance.
