just the cd here. And if I had ever had it on cassette, I would have thrown it away with all my other cassettes.

An amazing, timeless album that never ceases to draw me in, one that refuses to stay in the background but inserts itself into my brain whenever it's playing. I just bought the new Prog Rock Italia vinyl version and it's very nicely done, rivaling the 1980s Japanese LP I have. The best CD version IMO is the original Mellow Polydor, though the Edison is great too.

Also, I think this album and Metamorphosis' Inferno make a great pair for Halloween.

Busted it out yesterday just because this thread reminds me of how stellar a recording this is. Coffee and Y's this morning, PA! Cheers!

Got it out as a matter of fact the other day and gave it a spin. Deep is the word. It really grows on the listener.

Love it, and this is a major classic in my books (and many others, I believe). Great album.

An absolute monster of an album and a top three Italian record for me. Sometimes it's my all time favourite RPI album sometimes that's Alphataurus or Museo Rosenbach.

A masterpiece imo. It’s like this riveting golden vortex of sound that battles through my brain every once in a while..like a confused but very powerful musical orgasm.
I love the fact that they simultaneously found an Italian Arthur Brown to do the vocals as well as a way to join ELP, Amon Düül ll and The Mars Volta in one band. |

Hey OP! Yes, absolutely. I still have my sealed Japanese CD copy right here on my shelf; I think it's actually worth a little bit more according to Discogs and the barcode/data!
Fantastic band and album, top-tier Italian prog.

Hi,
Have to hear it again ... I remember not being impressed when I first heard it ... but not sure why.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I love that one, specially the first 2 songs, which sound great together. A friend once told me he got this album someone had recommended him and that it was really great, and I just ordered it at a local store, without ever having heard it nor having any clue what it would sound like.
