He started playing at age 6, in 1975, on a Farfisa keyboard he got as a present. His main influences for singing have been The Beatles, and his psychedelic influences start with the California hippie scene of the 1960s.

I VIAGGI DI MADELEINE
ABOUT I VIAGGI DI MADELEINE ...from Prog Archives.com and Official site I VIAGGI DI MADELEINE I Viaggi di Madeleine biography The band was formed in 2015 by musicians with 10 years of experience. Inspired by 80's and 90's rock, the band made a 4 songs demo while touring and before releasing his first song in 2016. It's in 2019 that their first self-titled album was released. The music has some influence from bands like LE ORME, PFM, BANCO and GOBLIN. Our music transcends reality and projects itself into surreal, dreamlike worlds, which in some way are the metaphors of the time we live in. The epilogues of the stories we tell, most of the times are not rosy, even if characterized by messages of hope and human salvation.

SKY PASSAGE
sorry for the delay....it's just a way of saying.... track released in March 2023 ... included in an EP by SKY PASSAGE group from Quebec and like most Canadian groups hardly disappoints first release to probe the reaction to their musical genre it is also good to start with a long track where it is easier to evaluate the creativity and skills of the group, it is spreading in the first publications, many on the contrary put a long series of short tracks with various musical genres anyway Good first now it remains to wait for the first SKY PASSAGE album which I'm sure won't disappoint me still few news about the group ... I have collected something on one of their sites and I will publish it to follow .... ABOUT SKY PASSAGE ...from Official site Hey everyone! We are thrilled to announce the release of our debut album: The Gathering. Over the last few years, we have dedicated ourselves to the creation of this musical journey and we can't wait for you to hear it! Find us on Spotify, Youtube, Bandcamp, AppleMusic or any other mainstream music platform! The Gathering features 12 talented artists who came together to tell the tale of The Bard (Frank Barns), The Thief (Achraf Loudiy) and The Saint (Maxim Beaulieu), who descended into the infernal realms. Imagined by Émile Rioux Pellerin, this story inspired his friend composer Mathieu Cossette to produce a concept album that would serve as its vehicule. Over the course of 10 years, this album was written, forgotten, rearranged, forgotten again, almost recorded, forgotten, written again, recorded a second time, mixed... then recorded again, remixed and finally, mixed, mastered and released (now). We want to warmfully thank every one who took part in this adventure. Mathieu Cossette - Piano, organ, synth, orchestra, back vocals Gabriel Cossette - Rhythm and lead guitar, acoustic guitar Laurent Lavallée - Rhythm and lead guitar Alex Rancourt - Bass Cédric Lepage - Drums Guest vocalists Frank Barns (Meltryon) as "The Bard" Achraf Loudiy (Aeternam) as "The Thief" Maxim Beaulieu (Warning Sign) as "The Saint" Guest musicians Isabelle Cormier (GG Project - Hommage à Gentle Giant) - Violin, recorder Marc-Antoine Bouchard (BIG TIME BAND) - Lead guitar Additional vocals Adrien Alexandre Aubert (BIG TIME BAND) Antoine Guertin (Aeternam) We also want to thank Will Sylvain and Alexis Cyr-Poirier for their help and guidance in the studio, and Antoine Guertin for mixing and mastering the album! Finally, we hope The Gathering takes you on an immersive voyage across the landscapes of hell (through the adventure of our heroes, of course). Enjoy!

SOUTHERN EMPIRE
SOUTHERN EMPIRE an Australian group that I have been following for some time that uses various musical genres ranging from soft metal to prog up to the inclusion of some soft jazz breaks creating a very pleasant sound ABOUT SOUTHERN EMPIRE ...from gep.co.uk Southern Empire is Australia's newest, most exciting progressive rock band: Sean Timms - Keyboards/Vocals/Saxaphone Shaun Holton - Lead Vocals/Guitar Cam Blokland - Guitar/Vocals Brody Green - Drums/Vocals Jez Martin - Bass/Vocals Sean Timms: After a 17 year stint as main song-writer, producer and keyboard player with Unitopia Sean was looking to bring the finest musicians together in one band. He feels he’s achieved that with Southern Empire. Shaun Holton: After releasing multiple albums under the 'Projected Twin' name and subsequently his own name, Shaun's vocal range, tonal colour and songwriting bring a modern sensibility to Southern Empire. Cam Blokland: Lauded nationally as one of Australia’s premiere guitarists, Cam was the face of the 2014 Adelaide International Guitar Festival, sharing the stage with some of the world’s finest guitarists including Guthrie Govan.

Re: 2023 Work in Progress..ive
KARMAMOI
in the album STRINGS FROM THE EDGE OF SOUND there are many versions of previous songs rearranged with the orchestra which are very beautiful but since they are not songs from 2023 I don't take them into consideration for my list ABOUT KARMAMOI ...from official site In 2008 inspired by old and new progressive rock music, drummer and composer Daniele Giovannoni created KARMAMOI, giving life to a musical project that was able to express his idea of music. 2008 – 2011: The band performed in many shows in Italy and Europe, including the Jimi Festival in France and the Eurosonic Showcase Festival in the Netherlands. At the end of 2011, the band released its first album, simply called “KARMAMOI” (Crisalide). It is the band’s only album with Italian lyrics. 2013 – 2014: In December 2013 Karmamoi released their second album called “Odd Trip” (Crisalide). ”Odd Trip” was a huge step forward into the world of progressive rock. The band changed its sound and its way of writing music. It also saw a switch to English lyrics. The album received some great reviews, and in April 2014, Karmamoi performed at The Borderline in London supporting Curved Air, and at Zanzibar in Liverpool supporting Lifesigns. 2016 – 2017: Their third album “Silence Between Sounds” came out in October 2016,. This album took over two years to reach its release date due to changes in the band’s line up. Co-Produced by the esteemed Mark Tucker (Jethro Tull), Silence Between Sounds was critically acclaimed around the world, with some reviewers calling it one of the best progressive rock albums of 2016. Progsphere Magazine included Karmamoi in their list “One of 20 Best Italian Progressive Rock Bands.” In February 2017, Classic Rock Society Mag included “Plato’s Cave”, a song from Silence Between Sounds, in their progressive rock compilation “New Species 28”. The album also reached number two with both Progwereld and Progstreaming. In 2017 the band performed in Italy, the UK, and the Netherlands, returning to the UK in April 2018 to perform at the Winter’s End Festival in Chepstow 2018 : On 30th November 2018, Karmamoi released their fourth studio album, “The Day is Done” (Sonicbond). “The Day Is Done” features several special guests, including Colin Edwin, (Porcupine Tree) on bass and Geoff Leigh, on flute and saxophone (Steven Wilson, Ex-Wise Heads). Mark Tucker was yet again Co-Producer and sound engineer for the album. The band went on to perform at Danfest 8 (Leicester) and at “The Boston Music Room” ( London ). “The Day Is Done” received some stunning reviews and is considered one of the best prog albums of 2018. On 4th May 2019, Karmamoi performed at one of America’s most prestigious progressive rock festivals, ROSFEST, in Sarasota, Florida. On 29th June 2019 Karmamoi performed at “BLACK WATER PROG NIGHTS” in Milan and on 29th Sept 2019 they played at “PROGRESSIVAMENTE FREE FESTIVAL” in Rome 2021: Due to the lockdown imposed by the covid pandemic, in 2020 Karmamoi decided to dedicate their time to writing and recording a new album. Called ‘Room 101’, released on 28th May 2021, the album was inspired by George Orwell’s ‘1984’. It revisits some of the novel’s themes and concepts, adapting them to the present day and focusing on the human mind and its weaknesses. Produced by Daniele Giovannoni, and co-produced by Mark Tucker and Octavia Brown, ‘Room 101’ features the participation of some great musicians, including Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson) and Steve Unruh (United Progressive Fraternity). Karmamoi made this album their first-ever vinyl release. 2022: In March 2022 Karmamoi released a new single called “WHICH DREAMS” From April 2022 Valerio Sgargi is the new singer of the Band. On 25th June Karmamoi performed as the open act of “IQ” at the “Legend Club” in Milan and on 29th July 2022, Karmamoi released the single TAMED SHADOWS 2023: The sixth studio album by KARMAMOI called STRINGS FROM THE EDGE OF SOUND will be out on 1st September 2023. On 3rd Sept 2023, the band will be performing at the most important Italian Prog Festival 2DAYS PROG+1 in Veruno Karmamoi are: Daniele Giovannoni (Drums, Keyboards and BV) Allesandro Massari (Guitars) Alessandro Cefalì (Bass) Valerio Sgargi ( Vocal and Keyboards) Hi friends 2023 Work in Progress..ive These are my best tracks of 2023 Track Title-Group or Artist-Album I'm Done with You-RIVERSIDE-ID.ENTITY Life Lines-SUNCHILD-Exotic Creatures and a Stolen Dream Scanning The Dark Horizon-JOHN IRVINE-Scanning The Dark Horizon Memories in a Box-SINGLE CELLED ORGANISM-EVENT HORIZON To_find_the_light_part_two-GREAT WIDE NOTHING-Hymns for Hungry Spirits, Vol. II Ghosts From The Future-OVERHEAD-Telepathic Minds (Disc 1) King_of_the_world-RPWL-Crime Scene(Disc 1) No Man's Land-TNNE-LIFE 3.0 Mysterious Forest, Pt. 1-KARFAGEN-Passage to the Forest of Mysterious Something New-MARTIN MILLER-Maze of My Mind Kill_the_sun_and_the_moon_and_the_stars-THE BLACK CAT'S EYE-The Empty Space Between A Seamount And Shock-Headed Julia Gargantuan.(Part One)-AMPLIFIER-Hologram The Beauty and the Least-MYSTERY-Redemption Scratches-INNER PROSPEKT-Canvas Three All Connected-YES-Mirror to the sky Summer Lies Beyond-COMEDY OF ERRORS-THRENODY FOR A DEAD QUEEN The Sacred Law of Retribution-TRITOP-RISE OF KASSANDRA Ingravita-BUHO ERMITANO-IMPLOSIONES Danger-ELOY-ECHOES FROM THE PAST Naturens katedral-LARS FREDRIK FRØISLIE-FIRE FORTELLINGER Ur askan-AGUSA-PRIMA MATERIA The 11th Chapter: The Nine, including a) The Fire (pt II), b) A Nonagon in Eight -RING VAN MÖBIUS-Commissioned Works Pt II - Six Drops of Poison Journey to the Center of the Mind -MARCO RAGNI-HALLUCINATORY EMBRYO Poker -I VIAGGI DI MADELEINE-TRA LUCE E OMBRA The Gathering-SKY PASSAGE-The Gathering Moving Through Tomorrow-SOUTHERN EMPIRE-Another World Tell Me-KARMAMOI-STRINGS FROM THE EDGE OF SOUND STRINGS FROM THE EDGE OF SOUND contains four brand new songs plus five songs from the previous albums rearranged and revisited for orchestra that giving them a new powerful sound, and a new vision of Karmamoi's music.

LA BOCCA DELLA VERITA
ABOUT LA BOCCA DELLA VERITA ...from progarchives.com La Bocca Della Verità biography Founded in Rome, Italy in 2001 LA BOCCA DELLA VERITÀ were formed with the purpose of reviving the progressive rock music of the seventies (especially of their influences PINK FLOYD, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI, GENESIS, BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER and LE ORME) by means of performing covers of existing material from that era, which they initially did to very good effect. During this period the band enjoyed much public exposure, including concerts, cultural events and seminars on progressive rock music, but since 2004 the group has moved away from performing covers to devote themselves entirely to creating their first album of original compositions, `Avenoth'. A concept album consisting of a long suite of almost 78 minutes in length unsurprisingly influenced by the above mentioned artists, the keyboard dominated `Avenoth' features an enviable group-vocal richness that is perfectly balanced with lengthy and constant instrumental passages of various moods and changing atmospheres. Along with the orchestral grandiosity of the NEW TROLLS and a modern spin perhaps in the style of LOGOS, their music holds all the right ingredients for those who appreciate 70's prog brought up to date, and `Avenoth' is one of the standout Italian progressive releases of 2016!

THE FLOWER KINGS
ABOUT THE FLOWER KINGS ...from progarchives.com The Flower Kings biography Founded in Uppsala, Sweden in 1994 - Hiatus between 2008-2012 It's hard to make a biography about THE FLOWER KINGS, being that there's so much to say about them, so any attempt of telling their history may seem insufficient. This essential Swedish group was born around 1993 as a power trio formed by Roine STOLT (Ex-KAIPA) in guitar and vocals, Jaime SALAZAR (Drums) and Hasse BRUNIUSSON (percussion), and ex-SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA, this lineup worked with Stolt in his solo album "The Flower King" with the participation of Hans Fröberg (Lead and Backing vocals) who would stay with them. Soon they decided to form a band using the name of the solo album so THE FLOWER KINGS was born, the keyboardist Tomas BODIN and Roine's brother Michael in the bass joined and the band was officially born. For 1995 they have their first release ready "Back in the World of Adventures" which impressed the critics very much for their closeness to the style of early bands such as Moody Blues, genesis, Jethro Tull etc, borrowing ideas but not music, so you can easily find their inspiration but a single chord copied, I personally liked the album but found it closer to Neo Prog than to Symphonic but this is only a stylistic precision that has no relation with the quality of the album. The next few years are prolific with few changes and they release "Retropolis" in 1996. Stardust we Are" in 1997 and "Flower Power" in 1998 with no great changes. In 1999 Michael Stolt leaves the band and is replaced by Jonas Reingold so the new formation for "Space Revolver" in the year 2000 also includes Ulf Wallander playing the Sax as a guest that remains for a long period with them. After "The Rainmaker" in 2001 Jaime Salazar leaves the band and the drums are taken by Zoltan Csörsz who stays in the band until the release of "Paradox Hotel" (2005) when is replaced by Marcus Liliequist. As most Swedish bands the quality of their music and the musicianship of their members is impeccable but don't expect the complexity of their most illustrious compatriots like Anglagard or the dark and almost religious atmosphere of Par Lindh Project (With whom Roine worked in Gothic Impressions), being that the music of THE FLOWER KINGS is a bit lighter but not inferior by any means.
