Hailing from the city of Ancona, Agorà was founded in 1974 and, thanks to a simple demo, managed to capture the attention of the organizers of the legendary Montreux festival (which many will remember for the famous fire that inspired Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water"). Their technical skills enabled the group to arrive prepared on stage at the event, and to perform an outstanding performance immortalized in this historic LP, which also constitutes the first case of an Italian band's recording debut with a live album.
The reference names are Weather Report, Perigeo and the electric Miles Davis at the turn of the 60s and 70s, but the whole performance is pervaded by a spiritual aura - impossible not to glimpse the melody of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" in the track "Penetration" - that further elevates the quality of the proposal.
A little gem, reissued here on transparent green vinyl with reproduction of the original insert.
