Lovingly cured in all details, printed as a limited edition of 999 numbered copies in 2008. The fine, cloth-lined bearing a golden print Boxset includes: a 100 pages book in Italian, written by Aldo Tagliapietra himself, telling the story of his life with Le Orme, and a concept album of previously unreleased compositions by Aldo, telling the tale of his trip to India. This album, featuring Michele Bon on keyboards, can be compared to “Il Fiume” as for inspiration and majesty. Aldo Tagliapietra's voice is unmistakeable as always and he plays sitar throughout the whole album, which he has learned to play in Calcutta in 1996 from pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee, during the composition of this work.

This one you already know, I guess:

MOONGARDEN - A Vulgar Display Of Prog (CD digipack)

javascript:popupWindow%28http://www.semanticweb.it/mrcstore/popup_image.php?pID=194%29"> MOONGARDEN - A Vulgar Display Of Prog (CD digipack)

On A Vulgar Display Of Prog, Moongarden invites us again for an interesting and captivating musical journey. These guys play progressive rock in the true sense of the word! Sometimes we hear bombastic seventies symphonic rock in the vein of Genesis 1976-77 with lush mellotron and a powerful guitar sound, but also mellow atmospheres with dreamy vocals and ambient keyboards like in Demetrio And Magdalen. On other tracks we can enjoy an eighties Queen-like synthesizer sound in MDMA or a heavy guitar wall with rap-like vocals in Compression. What a stunning variety!

Studio Album, released in 2009.
