[edit] Trivia
The band's moniker is a homage to a Progressive rock outfit which was based in Rome, Italy in the 1970s. The earlier outfit disbanded after recording some tapes for Italian national television. The newer band's first recording was an instrumental version of the original band's song, "Città di Vetro". The mastermind behind the original group was impressed by the cover version, so much so that he paid for the recording expenses to have the song done in a studio. this band is not all Italian but they come from Italian background
