    Regarded as the link between Italian acid folk, Library music and Krautrock! 'Living Music' was a collective of Italian Musicians, artists and poets active in the counterculture and student movement of Rome in the late 1960s and early 1970s. During an experimental recording session they set their psychedelic compositions to the poetry of Beat poet Allen Ginsberg. The album is a phenomenal psychedelic excursion into acid folk, Tibetan chants, Indian drones, and avant-jazz (Featuring Umberto's brother and Italian jazz legend Cicci Santucci) all centred around the powerful voice of Gianfranca Montedoro. It has since become a highly sort after recording for folk and progressive collectors.
