His first solo album, titled "Mauro Pagani" (released in Tokyo in 1979 on Seven Seas and distributed by King Record Co.) included contributions by fellow PFM members Franz Di Cioccio, Patrick Djivas, and Walter Calloni; also showcasing an impressive line-up of guest musicians, including Area's Demetrio Stratos, Peter Gabriel,^[1] Giulio Capiozzo, Patrizio Fariselli, and Ares Tavolazzi ("L'Albero Di Canto" and "L'Albero Di Canto II" with Area backing Mauro exclusively). Roberto Colombo also played polimoog on "La Città Aromatica".

Pagani has been an experimenter of sound related to blues and Mediterranean music. He also collaborated with other famous artists, including Roberto Vecchioni, Gianna Nannini, Luciano Ligabue, Ornella Vanoni, and Fabrizio De Andrè, with whom he composed the renowned LPs Creuza de mä (1984) and Le nuvole (1990).
