Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a conceptual narrative concerning the mundane life of an average office worker, the Genoese quintet's sophomore album heavily accelerated their transition into full symphonic rock. Utilizing complex vocal harmonies, prominent Moog synthesizer flourishes, and aggressive rhythmic interplay, the deeply theatrical recording represents a classic cornerstone of the foundational Italian progressive scene.
