This is the starting point, that is the beginning of the second phase regarding such great career of this unforgettable musician!!

According to the opinion of his wife this was the album indicated by her husband Frank as his most favorite, and if you listen to his first great orchestral arrangement and conceptual album as well, you understand such opinion!! He was involved with the experimentation concerning the utilization of a strange dialogue, by alternating it by means of orchestral instrumentals... a patchwork of small pieces of "art-music", 16 minutes long!! Well honestly his definitive sound did not take its complete form yet, but you can get an inkling of his grandeur here and the influence of Stravinsky as well."Take Your Clothes Off" is a small jewel; instead the early raw version of "King Kong" doesn't convince his fans at all... it never minds, this is an important historical document, even though better things had to come after!!

Recommended!!
