Album Notes & Community Reviews

Side one is a four-movement concerto written and conducted by Luis Enriquez Bacalov, composed as the score to the film 'La vittima designata', while side two is a single twenty-minute improvisation recorded direct by the band. The closing movement, 'Shadows (Per Jimi Hendrix)', became the group's signature piece, and the album is counted among the finest Italian progressive records.
