CHAMELEON
Luminous morning
CD - MMP 341
Very similar in
style to Kundalini...in fact Chameleon is a Kundalini offshot
of Arne Jonasson and Patrick Sundkvist. Mostly improvisation but also
own compositions and jazz standards, both instrumental and with vocals.
Great stuff!

A new band that mixes the italian seventies classic style with 90's

LUZ ESCONDIDA
Luz escondida
CD - MMP 349
A Notturno Concertante
offshot, Luz Escondida is Lucio Lazzaruolo with a
talented female vocalist. The music combines gorgeous, compelling melodies
with symphonic fashion. Lucio also included two instrumentals for his solo
classical guitar, Peter Hammill's "Vision" and Camel's
"Ice", giving the tune an almost jazzy sensibility. Music for
the hearth.

PATRICK BROGUIERE
Mont Saint-Michel
CD - MMP 350
This is NOT a solo album but a real group effort with bass, guitars,
vocalist playing a true progressive sound.
A successful attempt to put into music some Celtic myths with a musical
basis at the crossroads between
neo-classical music and progressive rock. The booklet is a fantastic
artwork which enlighten the story of the legend.
