Hello Ghostrider.
Months ago you cheerfully mentioned to me that their singer liked my review about the album very much, now I am a bit surprised that I have not seen you on the Symphonic Progrock Appreciation Thread for more than a week while you post this fine information here
 With the help of other symphomaniacs I am trying to make this thread to a great source of information, if you post abovementioned website there, others can help to give more information or help to translate ... I simply don't understand, Ghostrider ...... I know you are busy but I had hoped for a bit more enthousisasm to visit the Symphonic Progrock Appreciation Thread as a member of the Symphonic Progrock Team ..  ..Edited by erik neuteboom - September 08 2006 at 05:20 |

I think you'll all be happy to know that on the Ubi Maior website there is a link to the PA page featuring their album and its reviews:
http://www.ubimaiorweb.it/pagine/recensioni.html Unfortunately the site is all in Italian, though of course I am available to give you details as to the content of the various sections. The band will be playing their next gig at Cantieri Sonori in Lecco (a town on the shores of the beautiful Lake Como, north of Milan) on Sept 15. I'd very much like to go, but it is a very long trip from Rome, and I've been a bit tired lately. So, I'll have to wait until next time to post a report...  |

haha. make it 4 now including our first confirmed non prog fanatic ....
took the album in to work today.. and one of my friends really
enjoyed it... he has varied taste and is not a prog fan per se... just
a music fan.Good thing come to think of it considering some of my other daily listening selections... didn't exactly meet with approval  ... Including one ... of my most favorite of all prog albums  oh well... can't win or convert all the masses... |

Make that 3 fans of Ubi Maior in the US as I totally dig this band too. Nostos is an excellent release along with La Maschera Di Cera's LuxAde. If only I could be so lucky as to see either of these bands here in America or better yet in my grandparents country of birth, Italy. I hope they make it to one of the prog festivals that happen here. Bravo!

Well if you see Bern's poll, Raffaella is actually a Ranger!
Be careful with that Bow, Raffaella! Oh and Assaf, nice review. |

FANS in the US means the two of you, of course... As to the cosmic power, I beg you not to make fun of me, or I'll be forced to moderate you as well!

^^^^
 You always make me smile with your posts Raffaella.
At first I thought you were talking about Micky about fans in the USA and them I remembered I am now in the US too....
I need to get used to it, now (for at least 5 years). I hope you'll get to see them live as well. It has to be a great show, if it is half as good as the album.
You have now a very intimidating position as a reviewer and moderator of PA. A lot of power - phenominal cosmic power....

I think Gargamel are on my MySpace friends list, so I guess I better check them out!
Too many Gabby's, Raffaella! Edited by Geck0 - September 04 2006 at 17:01 |

Assaf, I've spoken about you to Gabriele, and he was very excited about having fans in the US. I sent Gabriella (the PR) the link to Micky's review, and told her I hope to be able to catch the band live in order to write a review for PA (and of course I boasted of my new status...
).

Ubi Maior are great!!!
I love Nostos
 Excuse me for this spontaneous putburst of excitement... I was taliking about them a few months ago and did not receive meuch replies and now I see this thread, so I got excited like a 12 year-old...
But Nostos is a very good album and those who love the synphonic genre should get this one... (as well as Gargamel - Watch For The Umbles .... sorry, had to let that out as well....)

OK, I'll post the review to Gabriella, Ubi Maior's PR and Gabriele Manzini's future wife (they're getting married next weekend, BTW...). She's sure to be very happy about that, and so are the band members. Hope to get to see them live in the near future, and write a review for PA. Last year I didn't manage to catch them, but I hope to have better luck next time.

Let's hope so, Erik
Let's hope also my humble opinion be of some help!
  The top 100 also for:
 The best italian symphonic album since 1995's Il Passo del Soldato (by Nuova Era). Of those I've heard, by the way! Edited by Andrea Cortese - September 04 2006 at 10:40 |
