Description/Reviews: 

Second album by the Sicilians Homunculus Res, confirming the originality of the first album and the full compositional maturity achieved by the band.
Their vein remains strongly related to the best Canterbury scene, particularly to "Picchio dal Pozzo" but their musical approach remains open, combining melody and structure.
The lyrics, as usual amusing and ironic, have a common thread, since this is a “concept” concerning a city hospital.
