Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived primarily by Italian composer Armando Sciascia under a pseudonym, this album was originally released as a piece of instrumental library music meant for television and film production. The record inadvertently captured a searing, deeply authentic brand of fuzz-drenched heavy psych and proto-prog rock that rivaled established touring bands of the era. It has since become a massively prized cult classic among psych-rock aficionados and sample-hunters.
