Anto/Logicamente is the first compilation of the jazz fusion band Area and was released in 1977. As the title suggests, the track selection focuses more on the tracks that were "hidden, ignored by the critics and many others", as told on the booklet. "Anto/Logicamente" is a play on words based on "antologia" (compilation, in this case), "anto" (not) and "logicamente" (with sense). Noticeably, this album contains "Citazione da George L. Jackson", the b-side of "L'internazionale".Unlike the other compilation "Area '70", this one was reprinted on CD by Artis (CRSCD 006) in 1994 and Edel (CRA 0142032) in 2002.
