Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1974, Italy.


Rock Progressivo Italiano.


I"ve got no words to write about AREA. For me, ex aequo with MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, this band is the best in the fusion field. Demetrio Stratos was an outstanding singer, always trying to go beyond the establishment.
 Very powerfull album. Settembro Nero is one of the bests classics of all times. I can"t understand why the prog community doesn"t talk about this band a lot. Everyone should listen to this remarcable masterpiece of rock, jazz, arab and mediterranean music. As I said, what power!!!!
