Awesome deluxe 5 CD box set documenting one of the most important artists in Italian musical history. As lead singer for prog art terrorists Area, the Greek-born Stratos used his voice as an instrument in ways never heard before or since. Some of the weirdest purely vocal music ever made is on these albums and much of it totally without the use of lyrics! Incredible stuff. Following his untimely death in 1979, Area struggled on for one more album but never reached the heights scaled in the 70s. These 5 solo albums stand as a fitting tribute to a hugely important figues in 1970s music: Cantare La Voce - Metrodora- Le Milleuna- Recitarcantando- Concerto All'Elfo
