Album Notes & Community Reviews
Operating on the fringes of the Italian progressive movement, this acoustic collective completely bypassed traditional rock structures in favor of radical, worldly acoustic improvisation. Incorporating a vast array of instruments from Arabic and South Asian traditions, 'La terra' is a deeply hypnotic, spiritual excursion into progressive avant-folk.
