THE REVIEW
70s, a fetus on the cover.
With this element, Battiato dares greatly, beginning to become one of the most ingenious, contemporary, and expressive Italian artists in the history of Italian music. Ideas decisively expressed about the creation of man and the ideology of energy and privacy compose a complex of melodies 20 years ahead of the time of the work's production.
Simply put, Battiato was ahead of his time, an artist like him in the Italian field is essential, and will always be necessary for the history of Italian music.
This is the beginning of his universe, both physical and mental, it is the prelude to birth, to composition, to the spring of the beast.

This album, almost on the edge of listenability, purely psychedelic and very electronic, is an album that makes you dream.
Guys, listen to it; it’s worth it. It’s true, the early albums are overlooked, so what are you waiting for?
By Naif_90
The journey begins with a heartbeat, a delicate guitar arpeggio, and Battiato’s voice introducing the world of Fetus.
'Fashions pass, various musical genres are destined for variation, but records like this are destined to remain fixed in the minds of all of us.'
By Listening Room
Some think he is a Martian or who knows what else. It’s Franco Battiato.
You will not find songs within it that follow the classic composition scheme or long tracks, because Battiato wanted to experiment in every way possible.
By Superbia
"Fetus may not be Battiato's best album, but this does not make it any less important than the others."
"The right amalgamation of instruments and complex lyrics are a distinguishing feature of this song and the entire album."
