Milanese band SILVER KEY seem to have suddenly arrived out of nowhere but in fact started out as long ago as 1992, as an official tribute act of MARILLION and FISH. They've gained a loyal following by playing live down the years, including concerts with FEM and UBI MAIOR, but after two decades of regular gigging have finally released their debut album of original material. It was always their stated aim to do this and at last they have found their own voice. Incidentally, the band takes its name from a short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft where the protagonist loses the magical key that enables him to enter an alternate dimension of dreams. This choice of name for the band symbolises the means by which they can fulfil their own long held dreams just as Lovecraft's character is able to visit his dreamed-of cities.
Likewise the album ''In The Land Of Dreams'' borrows from the work of Lovecraft and his mentor Robert W. Chambers, featuring as it does a lengthy suite inspired by the supernatural fiction of these writers, although there's also a track inspired by an original concept by Marco Dominioni. Sonically it's a highly polished affair as one might expect from something that has been so long in the making. Lead vocalist Yuri Abietti, the only remaining founding member of the band, sings in English and his vocals carry barely a hint of an Italian accent. Indeed the band's entire sound is very anglicised, something which clearly springs from their past as a covers band, and it's not difficult to find similarities with IQ and ARENA. The songs are variously calm and eruptive with guitarist Carlo Monti's majestic solos sprawling across the bulging quilt of Davide Manara's keyboards, while the eager fire of the rhythm section of Alberto Grassi (bass) and Viviano Crimella (drums) provides the band's driving force.

Доп. информация: Творческий путь итальянской трибьют-группы, известной своими замечательными кавер-версиями песен Мариллион, наконец-то увенчался выходом альбома с их собственным материалом. Стилистика, естественно, близка к Фишевскому Marillion, IQ и Arena. Мои наилучшие рекомендации. Отдельное спасибо ув.Dаys Before Tomorrow за наводку на эту команду, что и привело в итоге к покупке диска.Progarchives info Сканы Digipack 300dpi в комплекте.
