 probably the most fusion-oriented Perigeo record, that is, the fusion of funky, jazz, and rock genres (and correct me if I'm wrong).

  Discover the review

 The album continues with the long suites typical of their music such as "Genealogia" or even "Via Beato Angelico", "Old Vienna" up to the concluding "In Vino Veritas", all based on great complexity from an instrumental point of view, yet never excessive in structure and free from unnecessary frills.
