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.

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!

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.

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. |

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.

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

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.

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!
