EZRA WINSTON was founded in 1979 by keyboardist-bassist-singer Mauro Di DONATO; keyboardist Mauro BIANCHI and guitarist Fabio PALMERI joined in 1983. Their first album "Myth Of The Chrysalides" was recorded only five years later, and twenty-four months before "Ancient Afternoons". When this last album was issued in 1990. he amazed progressive rock fans in those years of lack, and they saw in them the worthy follower of GENESIS! A decade later, this magnificent album hasn't lost any of its charm, and can still be perfectly compared to the creme de la creme in this style. You are then invited to listen to this masterpiece reissued by Musea with a previously unreleased track. The almost 20-minute long suite should be missed under no circumstances !
