Wow, only 12 days since the last update and I'm back with four
new reviews. Maybe most of you are spending holidays somewhere
but I hope you'll find the time to visit Tales Of Wonder. In Italy
we reached 38 degrees last friday 25/07 and it was so hard to
work this way. I wish everyone nice and relaxing holidays. Enjoy
your stay. Luca |

Hi there, my summer holidays are gone and only a sweet memory
left. Only ten days but during this period I missed at least two
gigs I care for: the Prog festival in Voghera and the first Arcansiel
gig after their reunion. Anyway, I hope to be luckier next time
I spend my holidays. I also wrote at least eight cd reviews, but
now you can read the first four with the english translation already
done and my interview to Il Castello di Atlante (in italian).
Enjoy your stay. Luca |

| Hi
there, finally it's holiday time for me and my family. I will
be out from June 26th to July 11th, so I will answer to any e-mail
when I come back. Inside my bags there will be also some cd's
to listen to: the new effort from Solar Project, Silver Lining,
Orphan Project, Pilgrym ... and, as always, some oldies (mmmhh
I think Werwolf, Sandrose, Tibet, Terpandre). In the meantime,
please read four new reviews. Enjoy your stay. Luca |

Of Fame: My
2003 prog favourites chart has changed: Act "Last Epic"

listened to the new album of the italian artist a little in late
and I decided it should have been included among my favourites.
My review is scheduled for the next site update. |
February
15th 2004 UPDATE |
| Editorial:
The world is currently turning around the John Kerry's secret
lover and the scandal (??!!??) of Janet Jackson (nobody had never
seen a neked breast before ???). In the meantime George Bush is
losing consents day by day among american people. Finally Italy
goes on with a criminal prime minister. He leads the first party
in Italy, one of the richest football team, three TV channels,
some newspapers and the pubblicity. Please tell me if it's not
a conflict of interests. I'd prefer to play cards with Spirit
on Mars !!! Once more I'm happy to free my mind from TV news with
music. Two cd reviews only this time (but next update will be
richer), a new section (Hall Of Fame) added and a new interview
to Taproban from Rome. Enjoy your stay !! Luca Alberici

| Editorial:
Hi there, let me start by saying I'm listening to very exciting
albums these days and I'm more and more convinced that progressive
rock is clearly growing up. The new works reviewed this time are
a proof and the next ones will be a strong confirmation. I'm currently
working on an article/interview about Arcansiel, the italian band
just come back from ashes. Stay connected ! Enjoy your stay !!
