Mangala Vallis biography
MANGALA VALLIS is a new progressive rock band from Italy, whose members are three well-experienced musicians: Gigi Cavalli Cocchi (drums), Enzo Cattini (keyboards) and Mirco Consolini (guitar and bass). Completely in love with the sound of the early 70's, MANGALA VALLIS is influenced by the music of that golden era, even if its music is filtered through its own taste and vision. Some symphonic prog lovers will notice that they mix styles of vintage GENESIS and GENTLE GIANT, while adding some Fish-era MARILLION and SPOCK's BEARD influences.

"The Book of Dreams" is dedicated to the memory of writer Jules Verne, and each track has lyrics based on one of his classic books (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in 80 Days, & A Journey to the Center of the Earth). Joining them are three great vocalists that reminiscent of Peter GABRIEL and Neal MORSE to name a few. All instruments are vintage and gives the overall sound a more classic feel rather than a retro sound. In closing, "Book of Dreams" is both a great debut and welcomed addition to any symphonic prog lovers collection. Don't miss this JEWEL !!!
