Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the virtuoso British guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's predecessor, Joe Vescovi, this album represents a significant shift toward the moody, dissonant keyboard-led progressive style characteristic of Italy. The conceptual framework draws on mythological themes, creating a dark, pessimistic atmosphere bolstered by complex arrangements and intricate, shifting time signatures. It is a pivotal, highly influential record in the early evolution of the Italian progressive movement.
