Album Notes & Community Reviews

Designed explicitly to break the Italian ensemble into the lucrative English-speaking market, this collection features new English lyrics penned by King Crimson's Peter Sinfield. The release brilliantly translates their virtuosic, classical-leaning musicianship and elaborate Moog orchestrations for an international audience, becoming the first Italian rock album to chart in the US.
