Description/Reviews: 

"Storie di un'altra città" (Stories from another city) comes sixteen years after the previous album "La ragione e il torto" and, thanks to a fresh, fluid and inspired songwriting, gives new vitality to a fundamental band of the early '70s Italian rock. It's difficult to quote a song rather than another, because we are in the presence of a very diverse rock record, where each piece has a strong personality. Guitars and keyboards are dominating, two instruments that project the album towards the future rather than looking wistfully at the past: the result is surprisingly addictive and amazing.

Description/Reviews: 

Today in 2013, more than forty years after the onset, the Gleemen back with a new album absolutely amazing for freshness and vitality: the title is “Oltre…lontano, lontano” and on the cover retains the shape of the fish as a threat of power against which the culture must always fight. Although times have changed this struggle is evident in the design created for the new cover by the same author as that of the first album as a sign of continuity in the discourse of the group. The album presents a variety of reasons of great interest because besides the beauty of the compositions we have the presence of Bambi Fossati on 2 tracks, where he gives the best of himself expresses on incredible levels, there is the presence of Marco Zoccheddu (Osage Tribe, Duello Madre), there are obviously Maurizio Cassinelli and Angelo Traverso, two of the founder members, along with some talented young musicians who will be a pleasure to discover in listening to this album that is already part of history.
