RanestRane

RanestRane is an Italian prog band from Rome that was formed in 1998 with the aim to compose and perform a rock-opera. Unlike other famous rock operas, where the movie is based on the story conceived by the musicians, RanestRane choosed the gothic masterpiece of W. Herzog “Nosferatu The Vampyre”, and composed a whole new soundtrack with the songs telling the story to the public. They started their live activity in 2000, performing a show called “cineconcerto”, with the images of the Herzog’s film flowing in the background.

Mirageman

Hiding behind the Mirageman name was in fact pianist and composer Giovanni Fenati, who released a series of five (but some sources mention a sixth title) library albums between 1969 and 1972 on the Ariston label. At least four known singles were taken from these albums. Most of this keyboard-led instrumental production has little connection with progressive music, as demonstrated by the album titles, Per voi giovani and Alto gradimento were popular radio programs, and the albums were more in the easy listening/lounge music style.
