Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the temporary fracturing of the original New Trolls lineup, keyboardist Vittorio De Scalzi formed this spin-off ensemble to explore highly complex symphonic rock. The album makes extensive use of synthesizers and intricate horn arrangements to construct ambitious, multi-suite compositions. It stands as a pivotal document of the Italian progressive rock movement's peak era, distinguished by its meticulous production and classical grandeur.
