This is a 1982 album by the Italian guitarist Ricardo Zappa, who has been active since the late 1970s, exploring New Age tendencies in his work since the 1980s and also contributing to the discovery of unknown artists. The album features a band ensemble with Walter Calloni on drums, Bob Clark on bass and synthesizer, Pietro Pellegrini on synthesizer, Maurizio Preti on percussion, and Vince Tempera on piano. It begins with a gentle guitar ensemble that evokes a sense of exoticism, leading into the effective guitar sounds reminiscent of Steve Reich and Pat Metheny's collaboration "Different Trains, Electric Counterpoint" in the superb track A1. Throughout the album, Zappa showcases New Age music with his unique guitar sound and tone.
