Contaminazione is the third album of the Rovescio della Medaglia released in 1973 by the Italian RCA. The album's English version was recorded in 1975 under the title "Contamination"

This is a great concept album, based on themes from Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier". 13 sections alternate from straight-forward prog rock to aggressive, Bach-influenced, instrumental passages where harpsichords, trumpets, and strings compete with electric guitars, bass, and an energetic drummer. A couple of the sections are mellow, and only serve to balance the more intense passages.
