Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally released in 1972, this iconic concept album based on evolutionary theory was famously re-recorded by the Italian progressive rock legends in 1991. The updated version modernizes the production while retaining the sweeping, classically-inspired symphonic rock complexity and Francesco Di Giacomo's operatic vocal majesty.
