According to Prog Magazine Zio is a mammoth conceptual project. The track X-Ray

The first magical land that Alan must face is the colossal Burbwood, the largest in the world run by 3 Supa Monkeys’. It’s going to be a very long journey with little to no time for rest as Alan is very much against the clock in his heroic quest.  He is going to need to pick up the pace as he dodges those creatures from outer space that have invaded Burbwood and turn anyone in their path into skeletons with one fire from their x-ray guns.  They are merciless killers and Burbwood could seriously do with Alan’s help. Will he have enough time to save Belbi and Burbwood before the clock strikes?

The track Wings Inside,

The second world Oldati Forest is much much smaller than Burbwood but is impossibly awkward to negotiate. Alan must remain inconspicuous so as not to disturb the lands repugnant inhabitants or worse still be captured by Rivero, Oldati’s shady boss. It certainly won’t be a straightforward challenge but a wet and muddy adventure, where rivers run backwards and streams run above the trees soaking the land below turning the soil into a swampy bog. Will Alan escape through the land unharmed or will he be waterlogged and stuck in the marshlands forever?
