Description/Reviews:
 Raffaello Regoli, already known in the Italian progressive environment for having been a friend and pupil of Demetrio Stratos, to whom he dedicated the musical review "Homage to Demetrio Stratos" for more than twenty years, in an organizational capacity, after the parenthesis with Runaway Totem returns with his original band to reproduce the typical transversal sound also revealed in the album "Giro tondo (giro) fuori scena" of 2000, with genuine, essential seventies connotations, including progressive, rock, jazz, rhytmn blues, with digressions also experimental and theatrical. The important vocality of Regoli, but above all with the strength of the collective, returns to pulsate the warm and biting groove of songs such as "Cormorano", "Nuovi colori", "25 Aprile", in which certain convergences with Area cannot be missing, maintaining however its own identity and immediacy, even when it comes to developing a rather original version of "Asia" by Francesco Guccini. And the more experimental component also creeps into the folds of enthralling songs, such as the introductory "Obliquizione", "Disarmoritmo", the ritualistic theatricality (sound poetry?) of "Festa di Settembre", an integral part of the musical visions of Cormorano, who don`t even spare the icing on the cake with the ending of "Clenched fists". A love that comes from afar and that still hasn`t exhausted its inspiration and expressive power.
