"Perigeo's first US release on RCA records in 1975 introduced them to the fusion audience in spectacular fashion. A very diverse offering along the lines of other bands like "Kittyhawk" or "PFM" , also from Italy, Perigeo's( no vocals) blend of acoustic and electric music were ahead of their time. Leader Giovanni Tommaso's moog work and direction are in the vain of many '70's fusion bands. An American, Tony Sidney plays acoustic and electric guitar. I found the music to be challenging and entertaining while not overly heavy handed. As a disc jockey on free form radio in the '70's and '80's , I played this as a staple of fusion segments, It is well worth the price."
