AREA was one of the most important musical projects in Italy. Their first record was made in 1973 by alternative label Cramps. The sound was a mixture of electro-acoustic experimental music (similar to John Cage work), jazz-rock, mediterranean and middle-east folkmusic. The lyrics' contents of their songs (written by Gianni Sassi aka Frankestein) has a strong political and phylosophical environment.
