Album Notes & Community Reviews
Continuing his pioneering, highly avant-garde sonic explorations, Franco Battiato's second album is a brilliant, terrifyingly dense conceptual response to environmental decay. 'Pollution' is a wonderfully mysterious, fiercely complex experimental rock masterwork, weaving highly hypnotic, deeply psychedelic synthesizers into remarkably progressive, existential soundscapes that flirt heavily with space-rock.
