Album Notes & Community Reviews
Inspired heavily by Aldous Huxley and conceptualized around the mysteries of embryonic development and cellular biology, Franco Battiato's debut is a wildly ambitious electronic rock pioneer. 'Fetus' is an incredibly avant-garde, deeply psychedelic exploration, merging wonderfully melodic acoustic interludes with heavily synthesized, intensely hypnotic Krautrock textures to convey profound existential alienation.
