        È un compromesso accettabile tra chi considera molto più importante la fedeltà estetica di un album ad un buon suono. Questa ristampa riprende ogni aspetto di quella che fu la prima edizione edita dalla "Bla Bla": dall'etichetta, sino addirittura alla busta interna. Il complesso sonoro invece, per quanto buono si possa sentire, con un equilibrio che (per chi non ha pretese) risulta valido tra alte e basse frequenze (forse un po' limitate dalla sorgente digitale da cui è stato inciso l'LP, che rende poco dinamico il suono), vira su di un'introspettiva tonalità ombrosa, che ne incupisce un pelo di troppo l'esperienza sonora, e per chi è esigente, può seccare abbastanza. Nel complesso si tratta di un buon compromesso tra le 2 cose precedentemente menzionate, oltre che di un prodotto da edicola venduto a 16,99€. Non è da buttare via! Ma appunto... Se venduto a 16,99€... Sennò comprate altre versioni; per quest'opera ce ne sono di più rispettose.

          Why is this album listed as being a 1972 release when it clearly states 1973 on the label ?

            As for the print quality, unfortunately digitization makes the listening experience absolutely flat. All in all acceptable. However, the disc is quite silent. Rating 6.5

              I found a used copy of this amazing release at Permanent Records in Highland Park, California. What a find...for only $3.99! I had never heard of this artist before, but the label (Water) and the packaging strongly suggested it might be interesting. Wow, what an understatement! After two spins...it's fantastic. Pink Floyd influences...sure, I get it. But, Battiato are risk-takers, and what a pay-off. The second listen struck me: could this artist be on Steven Stapleton's legendary Nurse With Wound list? Not surprisingly, they are! Highly recommended.

                  A very unusual release from a very unique artist. I also own Battiato's previous album, Fetus, which is an interesting album of electronic, avantgarde pop. Pollution is a worthy follow up that exceeds the debut in many ways. The albums progresses in a montage of musical cues that go from synths awash with chaotic bursts immediately followed by melodically folky moments. And then suddenly, there is a classical break intermixed with field recordings that soon lead their way into a jam that rocks around for awhile.

                  Battiato is a bit hard to pinpoint musically but he's a treat to listen to and this release from Superior Viaduct does him a great service. The packing is of high quality with hard stock, complete with an impressive gatefold and trippy inner sleeve notes. Most importantly, the mix is carefully done and plays dead quiet. Highly recommended.
