2014 Reissue, with an extra extensive booklet. Pholas Dactylus have left, with Concerto delle Menti, a unique example of avantgarde prog containing only spoken lyrics that can be appealing to the most adventurous listeners even because the musical background is intense and mesmerising; the album contains a long suite divided onto the two sides of the record with no breaks, declaims back of apocalyptic feeling with his hypnotic voice, instrumental parts vary between hard progressive to modern electric jazz to minimalism and psychedelia.. The first representation of Concerto delle Menti came in the winter of 1972, in Cornate d'Adda. The group had a very good live activity, supporting the german group Amon Duul II and even playing in some open air festivals.
Format
contains a 12-page booklet full of vintage photos of the group, and a 4-page insert that includes all the lyrics on the album.
