Exclusive reissue in a digipack CD format of all of the three Aktuala releases; “Tappeto Volante” is the third and last one of this series, made by an ‘open musical collective’ from milan, a fixed nucleus with many different contributes from guest musicians. As the Third Ear Band have always been inserted in the international prog panorama, the same happened with Aktuala, who were real music pioneers able to blend world, ethnic, jazz and avantgarde music.

“Tappeto Volante”, published in 1976 always on Bla Bla record label, was the swan song for Aktuala, an unique ensemble who often suffered a lot of criticism, often unjustified, from colleagues and critics. In a period of great social and cultural changes, Aktuala consistently continued in the making of their third album, an LP that consists of several short tracks that do not reach the cohesion of previous releases, albeit in line with what had already been proposed earlier.

This reissue is enriched by a booklet with rare and unreleased images, plus the bonustrack “Il Sussurro dell’Anima”, taken from the solo works of Walter Maioli, the true spiritual guide of Aktuala and still today a tireless investigator of extra-european music and culture.
