Battiato's wonderfully lively 1973 concept album "Pollution" is an audaciously psychedelic album which draws heavily in the space rock dimension with a good chunk of electronics and keyboard layers. Drawing heavily on the VCS3 synthesizer, Battiato and company (besides himself, three backing band members play synth as well) give "Pollution" an extreme electronic edge. With comparisons to Ash Ra Tempel, Faust, and Pink Floyd, "Pollution" was declared "genius" by Frank Zappa. Includes original artwork and new detailed liner notes.
