Their fourth album (originally released in 1975 on Cramps) was a live uncompromising blend of jazz-rock, ethnic folk, experimentation and political philosophies. The Area’s unique sound combined the punch of rock and the frightening chaos of experimental music. The “International POPular Group” was a fascinating band. This album contains one song from each of their previous records plus a 15-minute jam (the title song) and a free-jazz interpretation of “L’Internazionale”. GATEFOLD
