RECENSIONE DEL NUOVO ALBUM
SECRET PASSAGE
Here comes the confirmation, with the second effort published on the Musea label, the first real opus by CAGE: "Secret Passage" (2008). After an introductory track showing influences of a light jazz-rock, not unlike KENSO's, the delicate and refined symphonic Progressive rock comes back to the front. From then on, the music is going to alternate between those two tendencies, for our greatest pleasure. Mostly instrumental, it also leaves space to the vocals, more gabrielish than Peter GABRIEL himself, courtesy of the band's new singer. The second track "The Scream" might even let you think that you're listening to a brand new composition by THE WATCH. In fact, the one mistaken with the illustrious Simone ROSSETTI is called Augusto MORELLI. Let's also note beautiful guitar parts, lyrical to the bone, mixing the styles of Steve HACKETT, Allan HOLDSWORTH or even Pat METHENY. Fulvio MELE seems to be in love with the fretless bass, while keyboards player Alessandro BUGLIANI develops furthermore his own playing, more recognizable and personal, essentially based on crystalline piano notes. Without any doubt the sign of a great talent. Too bad this album is so short... Anyway, here's a splendid piece of work, not to be missed by any means !

La band nasce nel 1987 a Carrara (MS) con il nome di Soundproof Red; dopo alcuni avvicendamenti nell’organico la formazione si consolida con
Alessandro Bugliani, pianoforte e tastiere,
Claudio Franciosi, tastiere,
Andrea Griselli, batteria,
Fulvio Mele, basso e voce,
Andrea Mignani, chitarra,
Augusto Morelli, Voce.
Sono numerose le apparizioni del gruppo in provincia e nel nord Italia, sia per quanto riguarda concerti che partecipazioni a manifestazioni e concorsi, come Savona Rock (finale al Palasport, Savona 1989), il Festival Europa Spettacolo (finale di Chianciano Terme, Siena 1990), la rassegna Musica Nelle Scuole (finale al Piper, Roma 1990), Yamaha Band Explosion (finale al City Square, Milano 1991). Nel 1992 i Cage firmano un contratto con l’etichetta TOAST Record di Torino e registrano dapprima un brano singolo, The View, pubblicato nella compilation Punto Zero (N°8, 1992) e successivamente una suite composta nel 1987-88, The Feeble-Minded Man (TDLP880, 1993). E’ del 1994 un’apparizione televisiva su Video Music, nel programma Segnali Di Fumo, e, per l’occasione, i Cage registrano un video clip live. Il gruppo ha uno stop verso la fine del 1994, dovuto principalmente a esigenze professionali dei singoli che hanno così potuto sperimentare altri generi musicali come ad esempio il Jazz. Nel 2000 i Cage si riuniscono per dar vita ad un nuovo progetto, che mantiene le proprie origini nel Progressive Rock, ma che si lascia influenzare anche da altre tendenze, come dimostra il CD demo registrato nel Marzo 2001. Nel Gennaio 2003 la band registra un CD autoprodotto nel quale vengono inseriti sei vecchi brani composti tra il 1987 e il 1992, compresa la suite. In Luglio il gruppo partecipa al concorso nazionale I.TIM Tour (11 Luglio, Senigallia, AN) e si aggiudica un posto per la finale di Milano, svoltasi in Piazza del Duomo il 5 Settembre. I video clips girati a Senigallia e a Milano saranno inseriti nella programmazione di Rock TV, il canale satellitare di SKY, all’interno della trasmissione On The Road; a breve i Cage avranno l’opportunità di partecipare ad altre trasmissioni televisive come Salaprove e Database. Nel 2004 la band sigla un contratto discografico con la Musea Records che nel luglio 2005 pubblica il CD "87/94" . E' in preparazione il nuovo CD che verrà registrato in Agosto 2007...
CAGE started off in Carrara, Italy, in 1987; after some changes the line-up includes:
Alessandro Bugliani, piano, keyboards
Claudio Franciosi, keyboards
Andrea Griselli, drums
Fulvio Mele, bass, vocals
Andrea Mignani, guitar
Augusto Morelli, lead vocals.
The group played many gigs, mostly in the central region and the north of Italy. They took part in several shows and competitions such as Savona Rock (final round at the Palasport, Savona 1989), Festival Europa Spettacolo (final round in Chianciano Terme, Siena 1990), Musica Nelle Scuole (final round at the Piper, Roma 1990) and Yamaha Band Explosion (final round at the City Square, Milano 1991). In 1992 they signed a contract with the record company TOAST, in Torino, and published the single The View, included in the compilation Punto Zero (N°8, 1992). The following year they recorded their first album, The Feeble-Minded Man (TDLP880, 1993), a suite dating back to 1987-88. In 1994 they appeared at the Video Music TV show Segnali Di Fumo where they also presented their live video clip. From the end of that year, the members of the group decided to work individually and to experiment with different kinds of music, like Jazz. In the year 2000 they reunited and devoted themselves to a new project focused on Progressive Rock, with influences from other music genres, as the CD Demo recorded in March 2001 clearly shows. In 2003 the band recorded a complete CD, containing songs from 1987 to 1992 and The Feeble-Minded Man suite. In July 2003 CAGE participated in the I-TIM Tour rock contest (100 bands selected from among more than 4000 groups), won the Senigallia (AN) session and participated in the final round in Milan on the 5th September. The video clip of the performance in Senigallia was broadcast on the satellite channel Rock TV (SKY). In 2004 the group signed a contract with Musea Records and in 2005, "87/94" came out. This release won praise from music critics in specialized magazines on the web and enjoyed great success in many European countries as well as in Japan.
