For:Fans of psychedelic, dreamy and alternative rock; listeners of 1980s-90s cult bands.

 Under The Milky Way is more than a song, it is a dimension, an emotional state, a cornerstone of the entire ’80s musical panorama, enchanting in its precious areas and original in the bagpipe-effect guitar solo.
