"I think the picture of the Cd you see on this page is actually the one that was shipped to me. Very odd name for an italian band. I was curious about them since I was familiar with the other RIO bands ( Henry Cow, Univers Zero, Faust, ). This band is very different in style than the others but of equivalent quality. It is more folksy and and vocals oriented ( Italian). Great stuff!"

Well, it's not exactly BAD, but...

"... talk about unrepresentative! Stormy Six are best known as a member of the Rock in Opposition movement, and they only released one album during their involvement with that movement -- the amazing, shamelessly experimental _Macchina Maccheronica_. This CD takes only two tracks from that album, and they're two of the least experimental tracks there. So if you're an RIO fan looking for juicy dissonance, definitely don't start here."
