Hi,

Which is their first album. Darwin is actually the 2nd. The Italian original is better than the copy made by Manticore with English lyrics, which had the same music, but the lyrics did not sound right after hearing the original.
Sadly, Francesco di Giacomo passed away in an automobile accident a little bit back, and his singing is absolutely fabulous in that band all the way through. So, un-rock like, and yet so beautifully integrated.
NEKTAR, has been one of my "best friends" since 1972 with "A Tab in the Ocean" ... and the side 2 of that album is one of their most famous "live" passages of all. I much prefer the long cuts, and specially "A Day in the Life of a Preacher". And I would like to find a version of the "Marvelous Moses" song in concert, when the original was harder and more Hawkwind like (only comparison I can find right now), or at least more "teutonic" than what eventually came out, which was softer and more ... washed out ... for my tastes. The band died in my heart with "It's All over Now" at the end of "Recycled", one of the best acid rock albums ever ... and it has to be played from beginning to end out LOUD ... and in a GREAT stereo, so the effect really hits home! And thanks Larry Fast for making this stuff even stronger than it already was!
