"Oltre L'Ignoto" sees Malibran fresh and inspired, the whole album is sung in Italian for the first time. Musically the album follows the same vein as with La Città Sul Lago (1998), their sound is more modern compared to the early days, but still their musicianship has a strong retro influence. Alternating between symphonic arrangements with powerful organ, harmonic flutes and sensitive guitar work and more Neo-Proggish moments with floating synthesizers and strong guitar solos, Malibran are still alive and well, offering some splendid moments among the overall decent stuff of the album, especially in the longer tracks. There are also plenty of acoustic passages with the support of violin, cello and smooth bass to give a sort of dreamy feeling to the album.
