Although Kino is one of the many projects of its members, the band has proven itself to be a solid entity with its own sound. They still perform sporadically, and their work remains avaluable addition to the progressive rock scene. However, there’s no indication that they plan to release albums regularly, given the other busy schedules of the band members with their primary bands.

‘Radio Voltaire’ is an excellent album for both progressive rock fans and those who appreciate melodic, emotionally-rich music. It's a testament to the talents of the bandmembers and their ability to create an album that is both intricate and accessible.
