A review after a distance of forty years, which gives a new vigor and a new perspective to their work. The songs composed by Oliviero Lacagnina (keyboards) with guitarist Marcello Giancarlo Dellacasa are implemented by the new compositions with texts by Massimo Gori (bass and vocals) and drummer Alfio Vitanza, which alternates in Gori in the vocal parts, joins in mixes with Aldo de Scalzi, co-producer of the project realized in its studios Trancendance. The arches of the Gnu Quartet and the chorus lyric "mixed class " enrich the sound.
