PIERPAOLO BIBBÒ
Diapason
CD - MMP 201

IT'S REALLY A CRIME THAT THIS RECORD, OUT IN 1979, IS TOTALLY UNKNOWN, EVEN BY THE JAPANESE FANATICS, AS IT'S ONE OF THE BEST PROGRESSIVE ALBUMS. FROM ITALY GREAT FLOWING MELODIES WITH EMPHASIS ON KEYBOARDS. GREAT!

GIGI PASCAL

Debut

CD - MMP 202

CD REISSUE OF ONE OF THE EARLIEST PROGRESSIVE GEMS FROM ITALY. SIMILAR TO CRESSIDA AT TIMES, WITH SWIRLING ORGAN AND A GOOD SINGER. TOTALLY UNKNOWN UNTIL KALIPHONIA'S REISSUE ON LP, THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT DISCOVERY!!

ARCANSIEL
Normality of perversion
CD - MMP 203

ARCANSIEL IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST AND MOST APPRECIATED NEW PROGRESSIVE BAND FROM ITALY. AFTER A COUPLE OF CHANGES IN THEIR LINE-UP THEY'RE BACK WITH A MORE HARD SOUND. DYNAMIC, ENERGETIC THEMES WITH POWERFUL BASS LINES & TREMENDOUS GUITAR RIFFS.
AND THE VOCALIST IS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD.

FIABA

XII L'appiccato

CD - MMP 204

FIABA IS THE MOST ORIGINAL BAND I'VE EVER HEARD IN ALL THOSE YEARS. THESE SICILIAN GUYS PLAY A MUSIC BETWEEN FOLK, PROGRESSIVE AND HARD ROCK, BRANDUARDI MEETS MAGELLAN???
DON'T MISS IT!

PROWLERS
Morgana
CD - MMP 205

THIS YOUNG BAND IS VERY REMINISCENT OF THE LEGENDARY RENAISSANCE AT TIMES. A VERY ROMANTIC MUSIC, FULL OF BEAUTY, OF PASTORAL MELODIES, OF FINENESS AND DELICATE DEVELOPMENTS. ALL THE MELODIES ARE LIGHTENED BY THE POWERFUL AND CRYSTAL FEMALE SINGER'S VOICE.

ABISSI INFINITI
Tunnel
CD - MMP 206

VERY WELCOME REISSUE FOR THIS VERY RARE LP FROM 1981. IN GENESIS STYLE IT SHOWS A AERIAL AND HYPER MELODIOUS MUSIC, WITH DREAMY AND SERENE KEYBOARDS MELODIES. A DELIGHT FOR FANS OF SOPHISTICATED MUSIC.

ANTARES

The Sea of Tranquillity
CD - MMP 207

ANTARES HAS LINKS WITH THE LEGENDARY JACULA (YOU CAN FIND A TRACK IN THE 2nd JACULA MASTERPIECE, ANNO DEMONI) BUT THEIR MUSIC IS LESS SATANIC AND DRAMATIC. ANOTHER WELCOME REISSUE.

I NOMADI
Mille e una sera
CD - MMP 208

THIS IS THE FIRST OF SEVEN PLANNED REISSUES OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ITALIAN BAND EVER. THIS IS FROM 1971, AND IT'S A COLLECTION OF UNRELEASED TRACKS AND WELL KNOWN CLASSICS.

ETNA

Etna
CD - MMP 209

SAME BAND AS FLEA, THIS REISSUE SHOWS THE BAND TOWARDS A MORE JAZZ ROCK SOUND. ITS MUSICAL COMPLEXITY AND MELODIC SENSE REMIND ME OF DUELLO MADRE, ARTI E MESTIERI AND OTHER INVENTIVE BANDS.

BARICENTRO
Sconcerto
CD - MMP 210

ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL JAZZ ROCK BANDS. A MELODIOUS MUSIC FULL OF RHYTHM BREAKS, FABULOUS INSTRUMENTAL COMBINATIONS AND COMPLEX D DEVELOPMENTS.
