Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally a radio DJ, the artist delivered this deeply personal, semi-acoustic masterpiece that remains a landmark of the Italian progressive-folk movement. The music is sparse, utilizing minimalist instrumentation and Rocchi's intimate, often whispered vocals to build an almost hypnotic, transcendental psychedelic atmosphere. It is widely heralded for its authentic, unpretentious spirit and its profound impact on the trajectory of Italian singer-songwriter experimentation.
