"When we announced the reunion of Alphataurus in 2010, after over 35 years of silence, many people waited for the usual odd nostalgia concert without major consequences. This proved not to be true, as the gig of November 6 was a memorable event for the lucky 700 people who came at the Bloom in Mezzago, a really great gig for passion and energy and the few who were lucky enough to see the band yesterday and today, confirm that Alphataurus has not lost an ounce of energy and enthusiasm that made them, forty years after their only LP, one of the most esteemed and beloved bands of the Italian seventies prog scene. After the success of that show Alphataurus did not stop, as the band promised to return on stage and studio permanently. As a first comeback, we propose the professional recording of that memorable evening, witnessing one of the greatest live comebacks of Italian prog. The dove is back! The vinyl release contains all the tracks of their debut work played live. Artwork by Adriano Marangoni, the same of their legendary debut! Available as black audiophile 180gr. vinyl." Gatefold sleeve.

"Alphataurus were one of the many unknown Italian bands who suddenly had a recording deal, made an album and disappeared into oblivion. Their only album, Alphataurus, the first on the newly born Magma label, is a masterpiece, so well crafted and played that it seems impossible that's been made by a group of unknowns. The singer Bavaro has a very original voice, keyboard player Pietro Pellegrini plays with competence and no self-indulgence, guitar-playing of Guido Wasserman is well cared and the rhythm section of Oliva and Santandrea creates a powerful background. The album includes five long compositions of which 'Peccato d'orgoglio' and 'La mente vola' are the best, the latter featuring a nice moog intro and a stunning vibes solo. Exact replica of the triple gatefold original cover, with labels replicas and yellow vinyl."
