**2016 restock, very last copy. CD reissue for this obscure mid-70s Italian gem, limited to 300 copies only** An incredible lost chapter of the small but essential canon of spacy avant prog from the as-yet-unnamed Italian trajectory that includes Franco Battiato, Pierrot Lunaire, Franco Leprino, Arturo Stalteri and a handful of other like-minded cosmonauts. To that list of stunners, now add Francesco Curra. Sure, an understanding of the Italian language would aid quite a bit given the large helpings of verbiage being spewed here, but there's great delight to be found for us non-Italian speakers as well. Much of the credit here goes to NWW list artist Roberto Colombo, who adds "artistic direction" and "musical elaboration" to Curra's "melody and voice", the musical underpinnings to Curra's contributions often closely resembling the most avant garde-ish passages of the first four Battiato albums. Absolutely essential for anyone even remotely interested in this scene." Mutant Sounds
