A five piece from Turin, Horus (not to be confused with Il Sigillo di Horus) never had the chance to release a full album, and their only record issue at the time was a beautiful single on the Shirak label (that had also released both albums by Living Life, also from Turin).
The band had a good sound, with keyboards in evidence and nice use of vocals, but were probably too late, in 1979, to be successful. The single went unnoticed and their name has only reached a wider audience thanks to the Mellow CD including the recordings for an unreleased album.

The only Horus single is very rare, having been
released by the small Shirak label from their home town Turin with local
distribution. It had a nice cardboard gatefold cover.
The Mellow CD is still easy to find.
