I copied the vinyl to tape in 1969, but the tape deteriorated to transparency through the years (Realistic 'sellotape') and I feared not to be able to play their music anymore. But then I re-found the vinyl in a public music library in Rotterdam, in The Netherlands. This time I recorded it on cd, and made a security copy of it on hard disk... I will always love this sweet little gem. Fine music and, ah, sweet memories! Peter Tango Nice to find this place, and even nicer to find such enthusiastic Aorta afficionados!

This band was way ahead of their time,which makes this album more of a musical treasure then ever before. I am pleased to have met some of the existing original members,and if you get the chance to hear these tracks,you can hear why they remain timeless.

This was a very casual atmosphere and there was no back stage. You could have intelligent conversations with the musicians and the price was very low to attend. These guys were very cool and friendly they left a lasting impression in my life. Michael F.

I was, ohhh, 8 years old. I LOVED IT! Listened to it thousands of times. Played it for people and they were WOWED by the "concept album" part of it all. Many thought that Nektar pioneered the "concept" concept prior to Genesis. Not true! AORTA was the FIRST concept album. Glad to know the history now. These guys were ahead of their time. I feel like all of you who like it are now my new friends! How exciting! Gotta go now, my identity crisis is showing.

Way ahead of their time and a shame they didn't roar to the top. Anyone remember them playing at an East Lansing club called, I think, Grandmother’s?
