BARROCK
La strega
CD - MMP 371
Very symphonic band which music is built upon the
keyboard. Close to
PFM by
the beauty of the themes and to EL&P by the instrumental virtuosity.
Strongly reminding seventies delicate and romantic symphonism.

KURT RONGEY
That was propaganda
CD - MMP 372
The
follow-up to "Book of hands". Still helped by the guitarist Bill
Pohl,
the first
recordings of TWP took place in 91 but was rerecorded later because
Kurt wasn't satisfied with the mixing and mastering. |

D.F.A.
Duty free area
CD - MMP 373
Another
great album after the recently reissued "Lavori un corso". A
little closer to the best Ozric in the first
track, passages that remember Happy the Man,
some Canterbury hints...Piras of Deus ex Machina sings in one track...A
band with a great personality that will be heard soon live at NearFest
in USA. |

OMAGGIO A DEMETRIO STRATOS
Omaggio a Demetrio Stratos
CD - MMP 377
Every year,
thanks to a fantastic guy named Raffaello Regoli, there is a live
concert in hommage to the best singer that Italy has ever had. Last year
Mellow took care of all the recordings and here they are: the bands
are too many
to mention, Lothlorien, Imagin'aria, Memoria Zero, Odessa, Periferia
del Mondo, Vedda Tribe. A great experience, brought on CD for your
pleasure.

HOLY LAMB
Salt of the earth
CD - MMP 378
This album from a Baltic band will certainly remind the listener of
the glorious 70's progressive rock scene, although not all band members
would cite that genre as their greatest influence. The record is the
result of collaboration among five diverse minds of different musical
backgrounds, from classical to avantgarde, from metal to fusion. The
objective was to create music that would be interesting enough to be
played live in years to come. Goal achieved.

CORMORANO Giro
Tondo (giro) fuori scena
CD
- MMP 379
Probably
you can consider this band the sons of Area:-)
Progressive, jazz music, sometimes improvised, with a lead singer that
is the copy of Demetrio Stratos and he also played with him in the seventies.
An elegant, elaborated and researched music.

band, full of brilliant performances by the musicians.
