There was thread about this album not so long ago... I've got to find some time to relisten to this, because as far as I remember it's a great album.

Brilliant album. An RPI classic. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

| I'm glad so many seem to know them. I am a latecomer to a lot of the more underground prog. Most folks seem to be stuck on the big-leaguers (Yes, Rush, Genesis, etc). I love them as well, obviously. But I love discovering the more obscure, brilliant bands like this. |

Oh yeah! One of the most creative and original albums ever! I just listened to it not too long ago after a break and it still blows my mind. -------------  https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

| 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. |

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! www.pedrosena.com |

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. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

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. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

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. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Love it, and this is a major classic in my books (and many others, I believe). Great album. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

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. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

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! ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

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. ------------- "I have seen the broken sky turn blue." http://gnosis2000.net/ratertodd.shtml" rel="nofollow - My Gnosis Ratings |

just the cd here. And if I had ever had it on cassette, I would have thrown it away with all my other cassettes. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |
