Allmusic |     [1] |
L'isola di niente is a progressive rock album at its core, yet shows greater influences from jazz fusion music.[2] Described as more complex and confusing than their previous records, it ranges from symphonic rock-oriented progressive songs ("La Luna Nuova") to jazz rock-influenced pieces ("Via Lumiere").[3] The lyrics are also sung in Italian, with the exception of the second track, "Is My Face on Straight?". The album contains the presence of long tracks, especially "L'isola di niente" which is 10:48 minutes long, and makes use of a synthesized choir.[4]
In an Allmusic review, François Couture wrote positively on the album, giving it a four out of five star rating,[5] and labelling it a "masterpiece" and "one of the first Italian progressive rock wave's finest records",[6] despite deeming it more "confusing" than its predecessors and "more of an acquired taste".[7]
