Franco Battiato

Limited clear green vinyl edition

Silver laminated cover

Fetus, housed in a outrageous cover (reproducing a foetus) was definitely a prog album, but a very original one, with a minimalist sound mainly based on the use of a VCS3 synth, unusual lyrics, complex arrangements. Deluxe remastered issue, gatefold cover. 

Foetus is an album beyond all definition. It's a masterpiece of daring and wild risks that work every single time. Franco Battiato takes us through eight uniquely super-detailed songs that tug at the heart strings as no other experimental record ever could.
