UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
Genesis: From
the distant past
A collection of vintage pictures featuring Peter Gabriel in many of his stage costumes and disguises
An explosion of lights and sounds: Pink Floyd's music is meant to be received with ears and eyes, with its sense of space and visual stimulation
PAGE ONE: The early and the classic
years
PAGE TWO: The comeback years and the
lightshow pictures
UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
A short photographic history of one of the most virtuosistic band in the field of symphonic rock, in its many line-ups. Notes From The Edge is their official website
Jethro Tull: A
flute in the gallery
The legendary band led by Ian Anderson, the pied piper. This is a chronological collection of live and studio pictures. Visit their official website to get more information
The dark-sounding band of progressive rock, whose performances were often an electric maelstrom, punctuated by Peter Hammill's extreme singing and dissonant organ and sax playing. Sofa Sound is pH's official website
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.
Gentle Giant: The missing piece
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
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
New Prog: The
bands of the 80's
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
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
UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
Ozric Tentacles: The
clouds disperse 
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 official website including a
nice Message Board! If you don't get enough, this is M.Werning's fan-site, endorsed
by the band. Don't forget to visit Rich's pages, the
largest Ozrics photo collection on the net!

ancient keyboards

Inti-Illimani:
Fragments of a dream
Do you like Music of the Andes or South-American music in general? This Chilean band is still active since 1967, despite what happened in their country. Click here to see some of the Andean instruments they use. More information and soundclips on their new official website
These lyrics belong to songs recorded by some of my favourite artists
The complex of megalithic ruins known as Stonehenge, on the open downland of Salisbury plain is still now one of the unsolved earth mysteries
Stray cats are an integral part of Rome's monuments, even Lord Byron wrote about them
A small town in the green heart of Umbria (my second hometown...) worth discovering. Its long history is witnessed by Roman, Etruscan, Mediaeval and Baroque buildings, churches and walls. Visit also Todi Website to know more about its monuments, festivals and typical products

"Como si fuera agua"
Drinking Quotes
Just a collection of quotes and proverbs. Also available in italian version
The
best site for progressive rock freaks! Reviews, interviews, news,
specials...and more! Updated almost every day
Many
reviews on the English home of Classic, Melodic and Progressive
Rock Music
Once
an Italian fanzine, then a complete prog magazine, now a website
and a newsletter!
A much
underrated group of the 70's combining medieval and renaissance
dance tunes, traditional British folk songs and original
progressive rock compositions
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
Who
knows the cover artworks from Yes' albums surely loves his unique
style
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
«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)
