Its like the follow-up album of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway released right after Wind and Wuthering..." » Progressive World - John "Bo Bo" Bollenberg "Based on the many bands there are, spread over the last thirty years, I can clearly say The Watch is the absolute best, with Vacuum for sure being their absolute highlight..." » Progressive Rock & Progressive Metal "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 albums as Selling England By The Pound and Foxtrot..." (More reviews) » A BRIEF HISTORY The Watch is a 5-piece band from Milan, Italy. Born from the ashes of The Night Watch, they began to work in a more professional way with the release of Ghost in 2001, the album that introduced them to prog audiences. Today, The Watch are a well-known act in the prog community and are definitely appreciated. Their music is inspired by artists of the 70’s, primarily early Genesis, owing to an incredible similarity between Simone Rossetti’s vocals and those of a younger Peter Gabriel. Despite this similarity, however, the band has its own style, combining classical prog atmospheres with a sprinkling of modernity. During interviews, the guys are often asked how they manage to attain such a high production level both in-studio and on stage. They like to say that they simply try to compose nice songs and nothing more. The Watch’s latest effort, Vacuum, instantly received excellent reviews. With its release in November 2004, The Vacuum Tour took off, bringing the band to perform in several European countries as well as in the U.S.A. In 2007, after three years of waiting the band gave birth to the third album: Primitive. It represents a clear continuation, but also a step-forward, to their previous albums Ghost and Vacuum. Future plans include a live DVD scheduled for 2007 and designed to catch all aspects of their legendary theatrical live shows. |
