The title piece is sometimes very symphonic in nature, dominated by obviously expressive electronics, under which even a stronger guitar is hidden. Speaking of the latter - it also appears in a solo, very progressive form. Such a symphonic, a bit film atmosphere, emphasized by string figures, also has Last But Not Wasted Breath: The First Breath - Finale, which ends the whole thing.

On The First Breath we can find 14 compositions, including three that are close to (or over) ten minutes long, and which stand out from the rest of the album. The first of these three is the title track, opening the whole thing. This is a very cinematic composition, because we can hear long, solemn orchestral sounds, which with time transform into an ambient pulse accompanied by sharp electric guitars, just like in Trevor Rabin's film music. Wojciechowski has a great use of climate and intensity, moving from loud to muted fragments, in which a sobbing electric guitar plays beautifully, to end the whole composition with a dynamic finale accompanied by percussion.
WHITE RAVEN The First Breath - reviews

White Raven is another new addition from Poland, a different style from the usual Neo / Symph prog this country seems to espouse, choosing a more electronic keyboard genre that is reminiscent of Geoff Downes' efforts with the celebrated New Dance Orchestra project or some of Vangelis 'more proggy releases. Keyboard fans will be blown away by the sheer magnificence of the piano and the barrage of multi-layered synthesizer work that clearly astound. The focus is on crafting memorable melodies and adorn them with sweeping arrangements that wander between electronica and symphonic.
