Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Gian Piero Reverberi, this release cemented the Venetian trio's shift from their beat-pop origins into full-fledged symphonic complexities. The record is characterized by its lush analog synthesizer arrangements and Aldo Tagliapietra's delicate, falsetto vocal delivery. Thematically exploring madness and alienation, it yielded significant chart success in Italy and helped popularize the progressive genre within the country.
