Moongarden

MOONGARDEN is an extremely beautiful Italian neo-prog band. Thet employ a wide variety of prog approaches. The music includes full symphonic prog, vocal oriented prog and even some very good improvisation. There is some nice flute and acoustic guitar as well. Overall I'd say they stylistically could be compared to CAMEL, LANDMARQ, GENESIS and PINK FLOYD but they sound like neither of these bands. For neo-progressive fans, MOONGARDEN is a band that should not be missed. "The Gates of Omega", third official release , represents so far the most complex and mature work produced by the band. If you (like me) love melodic, symphonic music with lots of beauty you will have to get this one. It's a must.
