The band was formed in 2003. The original group, made up of the drummer Paolo Lastrucci, the bass player Lorenzo Fini, the guitarist Orlando Perri, immediately tended to create music of its own under a progressive-rock influence.

Afterwards a new element joins the group, the pianist Claudio Bianchi, who brings the group the technical... [+] Read More

Colour Of Sound arose from the primordial, fanatically Christian soup known as "The Hawthorns" primary school. The period only known as the "Dark Ages" to many stretched from when the band contained only three members and wrote music that was just... **** right up to when Shahen joined when the rest of the band were in the throws of Secondary...

The group formed in 1971 when Banks recruited longtime associate Ray Bennett (Gun) along with Colin Carter (Pete Bardens' Camel) and Mike Hough. Original Yes keyboardist Tony Kaye rounded out the group. Flash had a sound... [+] Read More

One of the most successful rock acts of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, Genesis enjoyed a longevity exceeded only by the likes of the Rolling Stones and the Kinks, in the process providing a launching pad for the superstardom of members Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. The group had its roots in the Garden Wall, a band founded by 15 year olds Peter... [+] Read More

Giles, Giles & Fripp -- whose name always sounded more like an accounting firm than a rock group -- only existed for a little more than 15 months. They never got to play a single live performance under their own name, never charted a single anywhere in the world, and were so obscure in their own time and their own country that the one album that...

Dirk, what are your musical ideas aiming at? Musically speaking, how would you describe yourself?

Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music history. Their mix of hard rock; folk melodies; blues licks; surreal, impossibly dense lyrics; and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them 11 gold and five platinum albums. At the same time, critics rarely took them seriously, and they were off... [+] Read More

If there is one group that embodies progressive rock, it is King Crimson. Led by guitar/Mellotron virtuoso Robert Fripp, during its first five years of existence the band stretched both the language and structure of rock into realms of jazz and classical music, all the while avoiding pop and psychedelic sensibilities; the absence of mainstream...

Marillion emerged from the short-lived progressive rock revival of the early '80s to become one of the most enduring cult acts of the era. The group formed in Aylesbury, England, in 1979, and adopted its original name, Silmarillion, from the title of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel. Initially, Marillion were comprised of guitarist Steve Rothery, bassist... [+] Read More

As the leader of Genesis in the early '70s, Peter Gabriel helped move progressive rock to new levels of theatricality. In his solo career, Gabriel was no less ambitious, but he was more subtle in his methods. With his first eponymous solo album in 1977, he began exploring darker, more cerebral territory, incorporating avant-garde, electronic,... [+] Read More

Italy's leading progressive-rock outfit of the early '70s, PFM would've remained a purely Italian phenomenon had it not been for their being signed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer to the latter's Manticore label. Their sound was more distinctly rooted in the pre-classical era than that of their Germanic counterparts. In addition to electric keyboards... [+] Read More

Since the band’s formation in June 2004, Phazer had already collected several good reviews from all types of press and was described as the “big promise of the Portuguese Rock”. The Lisbon band identifies itself with the Hard-Rock style, but without limiting themselves to any kind of musical style, they drift into several music styles from... [+] Read More

Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible... [+] Read More

Although they're best known today for their lush, lyrically and musically profound (some would say bombastic) psychedelic-era albums, the Moody Blues started out as one of the better R&B-based combos of the British Invasion. The Moody Blues' history began in Birmingham, England, where one of the more successful bands during that time was El Riot... [+] Read More
