Wonderfully varied Free Improv, with a nice balance of different elements to keep it interesting (and not overly self-indulgent). One of those elements is Demetrio Stratos' voice, which is put to good use as a wild instrument (complete with duck quacking). It's rare for a band, that features Steve Lacy and Paul Lytton, to pull off free improv so completely convincingly when it is not within their normal milieu, but this performance is a testament to their musicianship and their listening skills.

Recorded at the Università Statale di Milano in 1976 (and released later in 1979), this is a dense, uncompromising recording that fully explores the avant-garde inclinations of this Italian jazz-rock group
