Influences
We had a dream.... The union between Intelligent Pop Music (just like JAPAN, DEPECHE MODE, BJORK, DUNCAN SHEIK, KING's X, DAVID SYLVIAN, NO MAN, LUCIO DALLA, RENATO ZERO, U2, COLDPLAY etc....) , Rock (just like METALLICA, LED ZEPPELIN, AMPLIFIER, DEEP PURPLE atc...) and progressive! (just like GENESIS, YES, ANEKDOTEN, LANDBERK, CARDIACS, PINK FLOYD etc....)... With a little bit of symphonic experiences (MORRICONE, JOHN WILLIAMS) and electronics down beats (PORTISHEAD, MOLOKO....).....
Just like a record shop? maybe...
MR DAVID CREMONI in Studio ...recording the final solo on "Demetrio & Magdalen" for the new MOONGARDEN album planned for Feb 2009!!!

The band is born at the beginning of the 90's, with a demo containing a few songs written and arranged by Cristiano Roversi and David Cremoni, which the Italian label Mellow Records soon after released as the first Moongardens album named Moonsadness. A few months later, Cris and David recorded with a different line up two covers for The first Italian tribute to Genesis. The chance of working on a full length album came with the "Brainstorm of Emptyness" sessions.
This is the second official release under Mellow Records, but in many ways the first real Moongardens one. This cd has also seen the entrance of Massimiliano Sorrentini on drums and Ricki Tonco on vocals. Moreover, during this period, the band published a cover called "There Will be Time" by Osanna for The 70's Italian Progressive tribute album.
After that, Moongarden went through a long period of inactivity, due to several personal troubles, and it took more than 4 years before Cristiano decided to start working hard on new material, actually giving new life to the project. Luca Palleschi joined the band as the new official vocalist, and a few months later the new album was ready. The Gates of Omega, third official release, represents so far the most complex and mature work produced by the band, and has obtained enthusiastic comments by both public and critics.
Further to this last publication, Moongarden have finally set the basis for a more intense musical activity: , a successful series of concerts and live performances around Europe, a new label, Galileo records, and the fourth album Round Midnight.......
Max Sorrentini and Luca left the band in 2005 for human and artistic divergences....after a year we finally find a new line up with the singer Simone Baldini Tosi (he was the singer of the first album Moonsadness) and the drummer Maurizio Di Tollo.
In the early 2008 Moongarden release the album called SONGS FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE with the outstanding artwork of the famous cover artist Ed Unitsky.
The album sold very well around the world so the band choose not to follow the usual "slowmotion" writing and production of music to speed up everything and start immediately the building of a new album scheduled to be release in Feb '09.
In November '08 Marco Tafelli left the band replaced by the original former member and very talented musician David Cremoni.
In Jan '09, founder member Cristiano Roversi and Gigi Cavalli Cocchi (Mangala Vallis, CSI etc...) founded the indipendent label DISTILLERIA Music Factory and Moongarden was immediately sign up side by side their "brothers" Mangala Vallis.
In April '09, the band will release the official sixth studio album called "A VULGAR DISPLAY OF PROG".

The month of May was come, when every lusty heart begins to blossom, and to bring forth fruit; for like as herbs and trees bring forth fruit and flourish in May, in likewise every lusty heart that is in any manner a lover, spring and flourishing in lusty deeds. For it gives all lovers courage, that lusty month of May. - Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte d'Arthur, 1485

Ciao...guarda il video del nostro nuovo singolo "Dolce"
Dolce è un video che trasporta lo spettatore in una storia lunga quanto una vita ma breve come una canzone, fino a cogliere l'istante felice con il quale, talvolta, la vita ci sorprende.
