A SYMPHONIC PROGRESSIVE BAND FROM THE EARLY EIGHTIES. SOME SONGS
MAY RECALL GENESIS, YES OR GENTLE GIANT BUT WHAT COMES THROUGH
OVERALL IS THEIR OWN UNIQUE YET ACCESSIBLE STYLE.
A VERY INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
MO.DO.
La scimmia sulla schiena del re
CD - MMP 162
TOGETHER WITH GENFUOCO A CLASSIC, SADLY UNDERRATED, MASTERPIECE
OF PROGRESSIVE/SYMPHONIC MUSIC. FANS OF GENESIS, CAMEL AND GENTLE
GIANT WILL FIND PLENTY TO LIKE HERE. WITH EX DALTON MEMBER THIS
IS PURE ART.
AELIAN
Meeting the watcher
CD - MMP 163
THE FIRST LIVE CD OF AN ITALIAN NEW PROGRESSIVE BAND. SUPERB PROGRESSIVE
MUSIC THAT MIXES SYMPHONIC PARTS AND ENERGY, VERY CLOSE TO THE
YES SOUND. VERY BEAUTIFUL MELODIES ARRANGED AROUND THE SOLEMN
GUITAR NOTES.
VV.AA.
Progressive voyage
CD - MMP 164
AN INTERESTING COMPILATION OF BOTH OLD AND NEW PROGRESSIVE BANDS,
ALL UNRELEASED TRACKS. OF THE GREATEST INTEREST ARE QVL SONG FROM
1970 AND THE 2 TRACKS BY DIETRO NOI DESERTO, A LEGENDARY PRE JACULA
BAND.
KRAKEN IN THE MAELSTROM
Embryogenesis
CD - MMP 165
IN MY OPINION THE BEST (TOGETHER WITH THEATRE) ITALIAN NEW PROGRESSIVE
BAND. HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY VDGG AND KING CRIMSON.
A VERY ELABORATED AND WELL CONSTRUCTED MUSIC, WITH STRANGE CLIMATES,
FEVERISH PROGRESSIONS AND SOPHISTICATED ARRANGEMENTS. A MUST FOR
ALL PROGRESSIVE FANS.
IL MUCCHIO
Il mucchio
CD - MMP 166
ONE OF THE RAREST RECORDS FROM THE 70'S. A PRECIOUS MUSIC WITH
CLASSICAL INFLUENCES, VARIED, FULL OF RHYTHMS BREAKS. IT HAS 4
SONGS OF THEIR 2 SINGLES AS BONUS TRACKS.
PAESE DEI BALOCCHI
Paese dei balocchi
CD - MMP 167
ANOTHER CLASSIC! A LYRICAL, ROMANTIC AND DELICATE MUSIC, FULL
OF FINENESS. A GREAT MELODIC AND INSTRUMENTAL RICHNESS, SOMPTUOUS
COMPOSITIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS. WITH THEIR LATER SINGLE AS BONUS
TRACKS.
GLEEMEN
Gleemen
CD - MMP 168
THE LEGENDARY PRE GARYBALDI ALBUM. A TYPICALLY 70'S MUSIC, WHERE
AN HAMMOND ORGAN ANSWERS TO THE GUITAR AND GOES INTO COMPLEX DEVELOPMENTS.
GREAT SOLOS FROM THE LEGENDARY BAMBI FOSSATI, CLOSE TO HENDRIX
AS EVER.
CAFEWIEN
Terrae motus
CD - MMP 169
A NEW BAND, VERY INTERESTING, REMINDING BRAND X AT TIMES. BETWEEN
PROGRESSIVE AND FUSION, THE MUSIC IS FULL OF BREAKS AND ACCELERATION
THEMES, PUNCTUATED BY EXCELLENT GUITAR FLIGHTS AND KEYBOARDS SOLOS.
ZAUBER
Aliens
CD - MMP 170
A SOMPTUOUS MIXING BETWEEN PROGRESSIVE BAROQUE AND ITALIAN CLASSICAL
MUSIC. A DELICATE AND VERY SOPHISTICATED MUSIC BASED UPON ORGAN
PARTS, WITH HARPSICHORD SOUNDS, DELICATE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CHORDS
AND SUPERB FLUTE FLIGHTS.
