SITHONIA
Hotel Brun
CD - MMP 351
Fifth album from these italian masters of the recent italian progressive
scene. Often compared to Banco, Sithonia has a strong personality, based
upon the performances of both keyboards and expressive singer. Album full of
finesse, melodic and instrumental refinement, with the symphonic apotheosis
of the over 20' title track
