After some years, the Italian band The Watch finally returned with new album, more emotive than previous albums, with fantastic instrumental works. The album is wonderfully produced, with rich layers of keyboards, decorated by amazing guitar sounds. The musical style played by the musicians is a Symphonic Progressive Rock, where the sounds from all the instruments become strong and audible, with powerful arrangements. The main highlight are, the impressive vocals by "Simone Rossetti", he has an extraordinary abilities as a singer and also like an actor, basically because of the characteristic sound of his voice, that it is very similar to the vocal tones from Peter Gabriel. In fact The Watch is the band that represents the "Genesis" feeling at the present day, and is a specially work for all Genesis fans, where the songs contain references from memorable albuns as "Selling England By The Pound" and "Foxtrot". Brilliant and an indispensable work, highly recommendable... The

THE
WATCH
The Watch is a 5 component band born in 1995 in Milan. In 1997 releases the first album, called Twilight and it's soon very well welcome by both "critics" and listeners.
In
many interviews the guys have been asked to tell how they could reach that
kind of result and the importance of classical music approach in composition
but every time they like to say that they simply try to do nice songs and
nothing else.
In the future plans a live album and a DVD that will catch this incredible band performing his theatrical and unique show on stage. |

After
some changes in the line up, the band begins working in a more professional
way and in 2001 comes Ghost, whereby the band becomes largely known. The
Watch's music seems in some way inspired by artists of 70's period,
first of all by Genesis. This is also due to an incredible similarity in
Rossetti's vocals that very sound like an early Gabriel. But in the meantime
the band shows his own style, alternating a sprinkling of modernity with
old sounding atmospheres.
