Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released via ELP's Manticore label, this album features English-language reworkings of material primarily taken from their earlier Italian triumph 'L'isola di niente', with lyrics contributed by Peter Sinfield. Showcasing pristine, classically-influenced musicianship and complex arrangements, it successfully introduced their brand of lush symphonic rock to an international audience.
