1978 - GLI DEI SE NE VANNO, GLI ARRABBIATI RESTANO!

Area does not disappoint on their last album of the 70's and the last one with their original singer. The band is loyal to their fusion sound but experimenting with other instruments such as trombones and variety of keyboards. The first track sounds simpler in the beginning but evolves into a complex fusion track with classy oriental motives. The second track has two highlights - an Arabic motive and great jam between piano chords and mighty bass guitar. "Retun from Workuta" is a showcase for Stratos vocals that sound unlike from this world.

Next two following tracks are simpler and catchier in their structure but by no means commercial. "Acrostico In Memoria Di Laio" is one of the highlights as it unites modern fusion and funky directions. "FFF" is almost a hard-bop classical workout had it not been for rockier sounding drums. "Vodka cola" is a promising track but the execution leaves mixed feeling as it is not coherent reaching from pop to fusion.
