The debut self-titled Blue Mammoth album is a fourteen tracks one with up to 1h03min long. Some tracks are grouped to tell only one story, like "Blue Mammoth" on tracks 1-4, "The Rain of Changes" on tracks 6-8 and "Quixote's Dream" on tracks 10-12. Nevertheless, it's not quite a concept album like many prog fans would understand this denomination. But everyone who listens to it will surely perceive kind of imaginary thread throughout the tracks. This is much more due to some encircling force that surrounded everyone involved in the album's production then to some deliberated act. This passion involvement let the group make a deep sink into the material's universe, and we can say that these pieces really represent an artistic moment of this group.
There was kind of an order in all the process like, every songs were composed in a closed period of some months unless track 13 "Resurrection Day" that Andre Micheli brought from an old partnership's work. All pieces were arranged in a subsequent closed period of some months too, unless the last album track "Infinite Strangers" that the band decided to completely change its arrangements when we were almost in recording process. And we don't regret it. This means that when we begun to work on the songs we had already a broad vision above all selected material and when we begun to record we had it already ready to go. Most probably that's why all the repertoire seems to naturally cohere.
