Now this is a new release for all classic WestCoast AOR fans out there: ”The Missing Pages”, from Italian songwriter / musician MARCO TAGGIASCO. We already featured his previous album here, and his awesome AOR project Mr. Rubik.
”The Missing Pages” features original songs written by Taggiasco (also producer and studio owner) during the last 40 years, in the style of early ’80s American WestCoast / FM Soft Rock. As reference for the sound, the album also features a cover
Galahad, stalwarts of the UK underground ‘PROG’ scene, have been ploughing their own particular musical furrow since the mid-1980s, ever evolving, mutating and absorbing different influences and still sounding as fresh as ever on recent releases.
This sampler collection contains some familiar songs, a few ‘deep cuts’ plus various alternative versions and the odd demo which covers almost forty years of Galahad music, in all its forms, from the first demo recorded in October 1985 all the way up to the most recent opus ‘The Long Goodbye’ which was released in October 2023 to much critical acclaim.
