PROGRESSIVE   NEW This is the sixth album for the famous italian progressive rock band Moongarden which after their two releases (Round Midnight and Songs from the Lighthouse) gained fame as an emerging reality.This is the most important of their life because they invested a lot of money in order to have a proper production. We can call it Progressive Crossover: it is the new style which Cristiano Roversi has forged. The band introduced a stylistic contamination without giving up to their progressive roots. The lyrics are really modern as well, ironic and nipping. The CD features important guests: Zef Noise and Mike III (Sweet Lizard Illtet, crossover band of the 90s from the Warner Bros). The final song “Compression” is a completely reworked cover of an Anthony Phillips and Mike Rutherford (Genesis) old tune. E' il sesto album della celebre band Rock Progressive Italiana che con le sue due ultime releases (Round Midnight e Songs From The Lighthouse) si è imposta come sicura realtà emergente in campo mondiale. Questo è il disco più importante della loro carriera poichè il budget investito nella produzione è stato tale da far sperare in un grande salto di qualità. Progressive Crossover, così potrebbe essere definito questo nuovo lavoro in studio date le influenze messe in campo. La band, in completa libertà artistica, ha spinto sulla contaminazione stilistica senza snaturare le sue radici progressive, reinventando il genere proiettandolo al futuro.I testi, ironico/caustici sono perfettamente inseriti nella realtà odierna. Il disco si avvale della partecipazione di talentuosi ospiti tra cui Zef Noise e Mike Ill (furono i SWEET LIZARD ILLTET, grande band crossover della warner bros nei primi anni 90) nonché dei sound engineers DYSFUNCTION, un collettivo di tecnici del suono che si stanno ritagliando uno spazio di prestigio nel post rock moderno. Contiene inoltre una cover decisamente speciale e stravolta di Mike Rutherford e Anthony Phillips (Genesis) intitolata "Compression".
