Emerson, Lake & Palmer, the most technical band of all times was never afraid to appear bombastic. Here they are in some vintage and recent pictures

Andy Latimer's band represents still now the melodic side of progressive rock, his guitar playing has influenced hundreds of musicians. Here is an illustrated time-line of the band.

Ray Shulman

Much underrated by critics, this band has written some of the most beautiful pages of 70's prog, melting jazz, rock and mediaeval music


King Crimson: Talking to the wind

King Crimson 1973

Sometimes a little pretentious, Robert Fripp and his mates of the Crimson Kingdom tracked one of the roads of british art-rock joining lyrical soundscapes with a fruitful sense of avant-garde

Fish (Marillion) 1983

Marillion, Pendragon, Pallas, IQ, Twelfth Night were the forerunners of the second wave of progressive rock, at the beginnings of the 80's. Here they are on stage in some pictures I collected


Dream Theater: A mind beside itself
Hollow Years cover 1997

A metal-prog band, but there is much more: all the best sides to rock music of the last thirty years is incorporated in their unique, powerful sound. Surely one of the most interesting groups in activity. Under a Cyber Moon is their official website

Ozric Tentacles: The clouds disperse
Vitamin Enhanced Ozric Tentacles

A unique blend of progressive ethnic-space-dance-reggae-dub-fusion-rock and...breakfast cereals with magic mushrooms (???). Bubbling synthesizers, snake charmers' flutes, sharp guitars, middle-eastern flavours: spaced-out music for the mind...meet the Pongmaster!
Click here to go to Ozric's

Once Pink Floyd's inheritance was heavy for them, but through the years Steve Wilson has developed a very personal style


Delerium Records was founded in 1991 by Richard Allen, primarily as a label to promote new psychedelic music

Bow down to the kings of football: "only in paradise they play as they do in Bologna!" (this was an ancient motto...it's time to revive the myth!). This is the official one, but don't forget to visit also CIB Web, the more spontaneous and genuine supporters' site


The first italian narration-based role playing game!


Progressive Rock & related, focussed mostly on Italian bands: interviews, live reviews, etc.
with the long-time musical competence of Italian free-lancer Francesco Fabbri


How to describe this?... Psychedelics, supernatural, technoshamanism, sci-fi, real science and more. Weird but rigorous. Really worth visiting!


Not only Stonehenge.....anyway that is suitably included amongst these mysteries!


A free program which takes sound input from a CD, stereo, or microphone and displays colorful animated graphics synced to the sound. Sort of like an oscilloscope, but on acid...! You can either download it directly here or go to Chtuga's website clicking on the logo above



Roger Dean: Drama
«If a person were to try stripping the disguises from actors while they play a scene upon the stage, showing to the audience their real looks and the faces they were born with, would not such a one spoil the whole play? And would not the spectators think he deserved to be driven out of the theatre with brickbats, as a drunken disturber?...Now what else is the whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage? Moreover, this manager frequently bids the same actor go back in a different costume, so that he who has but lately played the king in scarlet now acts the flunkey in patched clothes. Thus all things are presented by shadows» (ERASMUS, THE PRAISE OF FOLLY)
