Transparent turquoise vinyl / 180 grams, limited edition numbered to 300 copies. Mauro Pagani's first vinyl album, released in 1978, is a masterpiece of sonic cross-cultural contamination. After his experience with PFM, Pagani embraced Mediterranean sounds, mixing progressive rock, ethnic music and psychedelic atmospheres. Almost every of his former bandmates, anyway, plays in this record, together with other great guests such as Area - first of all, their incredible singer Demetrio Stratos - and the female vocalist Teresa De Sio. With its sophisticated arrangements and traditional instrumentation, the record is both experimental and open-minded. Pagani's visionary approach anticipates many future fusions in Italian music. An intense, authentic and courageous debut that remains a benchmark for those who enjoy boundless musical exploration.
