Description/Reviews: 

Offering the Floyd’s songs under a new guise - from the ‘60s until the last "The Division Bell" in 1994 – we find mostly Italian artists (Pandora, Fabio Zuffanti, Conqueror, EgoBand, Archangel, Prowlers, Greenwall & more), from the little-known but solid  and florid progressive rock panorama of the peninsula, but there are also a couple of international acts, such as the American Jay Tausig, the Finnish Permanent Clear Light and the supergroup The Samurai of Prog, including Roine Stolt from The Flower Kings and Jon Davison, the current lead singer for Yes.
Another peculiarity of this 2-CD release is the choice of atypical PF songs: the great classics - "Wish You Were Here", "Another Brick in the Wall", "Money" , "Comfortably Numb" and many others - were deliberately left out, in favor of lesser-known but equally important tracks, from albums such as "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", "A Saucerful of Secrets", "Animals", "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "The Final Cut", almost always forgotten in any common-tribute album.
