4 years separate the last studio album from the new Conqueror release, entitled "STEMS". Years of important changes within the formation, which returned to a less orchestral line up than in the past, concentrating on the original form of the very first band. In compliance with the novelties, we still find the points on which the band's music has always been based: the self-imposed guildelines "no ready-made rules" and "keep changing constantly the compositional approach".

Milanese band Silver Key started out as long ago as 1992, as generic cover band up to 2001 when they became an official tribute act of Marillion and Fish. They've gained a loyal following by playing live down the years, but after almost two decades of regular gigging they have finally released their debut album of original material “ In the land of dreams” on 2012 Ma.Ra.Cash label production…

Symphonic Prog band with strong classical influences. Many accoustic instruments are used, giving the band almost a chamber characteristic. The project started in 1990, Paolo Lucchina, Mose Nodari, Luigi Bonacina, Andrea Costanza, and Francesco Vedani were the original original line-up. After three years the Court were contacted by the indie label Music is Intelligence who proposed them to record their first studio album, "And You'll Follow the Winds' Rush 'Till Their Breath Dwells", in the Roxanne Studio in Stuttgart.
In 1997 the second album Distances was recorded near Frankfurt. The magazine Rockerilla commented "It seems that the four years passed from the previous realise have been devoted by the band to develop furthermore its technical and emotional capabilities…

Submarine Silence is an Italian group that was born from the idea of Mellow Records owner Mauro Moroni. The group can be regarded as a side-project of the neo-progressive group Moongarden. Based on the idea of Mr. Moroni, the Moongarden keyboardist Cristiano Roversi founded the group. The group consists of Cristiano Roversi (keyboards), David Cremoni (guitars) and Emilio Pizzoccoli (drums & percussions). David Cremoni is also a member of Moongarden. Bass sounds are made by Taurus pedals. The band first appeared in a Genesis tribute "The River of Constant Change - A Tribute to Genesis". In 2001 they released the self-titled debut album. It is very Genesis inspired instrumental progressive. Even the album artwork resembles "Foxtrot" and it is by the same artist Paul Whitehead.

4 Destinies (2014). "4 Destinies" is the third album recorded by the Italian composer and progressive rock musician Alex Carpani. This album is based on four possible destinies that a man may find on his life path, so actually it's more or less a concept album. Apart from Carpani (lead vocals, keyboards) the album had been recorded with David Jackson (ex-Van der Graaf Generator, saxophones, flutes), Ettore Salati (ex-The Watch, Soul Engine, DAAL, The Red Zen, guitars), GB Giorgi (bass), Alessandro Di Caprio (drums) and Joe Sal (additional vocals). From time to time the music on the four tracks tends in the direction of the classic progressive rock of the seventies. Four destinies, four long tracks with many changes in rhythm and mood, very rich in ideas and musical colours well performed by an excellent team of musicians…

In the late 80's, five university students vowing a common admiration for Metallica, Iron Maiden and the likes formed the band Physeter; under that moniker, they covered their idols' material while composing a few pieces of their own. As new members entered their circle, however, they started to integrate other influences into their sound, borrowing from the more symphonic style of PFM or Banco. Renaming themselves Imagin' Aria, they released a first of three albums that prompted a series of concerts sponsored by Heineken and earned them a couple of stage appearances with Banco as well as a contribution on a Demetrios Stratos tribute…

Here is IL CORPO NEL SOGNO, the new work from OTEME, Observatory of Emerged Lands, almost a divertissement halfway between chamber music, singer-songwriter songs, Rock-In-Opposition, electroacoustic music. What Stravinsky, Messiaen and Feldman would have happily written if they had loved drum'n'bass. What Dylan could still hypothesise if he were interested in the avant-garde of the 1900s. The recurring dream of Bach who predicted the arrival of Battisti and Panella.
