Tale

Tale (Neo-Prog • Multi-National)
TALE was originally a solo project lead by South-African musician Rob GRANVILLE; who's debut album "Riverman Volume 1" impressed many upon it's release in 1994.
Shortly after he started collaborating with keyboardist Michael STODART, resulting in the well-received 1998 release "Elysium Fields".
This second release was to be the last the world heard of Tale though. The duo struggled long with the production of a third album; and when it finally saw the light in 2004, it was issued under the moniker "Granville - Stodart".
WHY IS THIS BAND LISTED AT PROGARCHIVES:
Multi-national project TALE made two quality albums, of which the second was the most interesting from a progressive point of view. Containing classical elements, vocal harmonies, atmospheric instrumental passages and catchy melodies; in style somewhere in between PINK FLOYD and ALAN PARSONS; the band was approved by the Neo-Progressive team.
Tale(Neo-Prog • Italy)
Italian outfit TALE is the creative vehicle of one Michele Tale, of which little is documented today. For the one album issued under this moniker he brought with him several musical companions. Most of them played in Italian outfit ZAUBER, a band Tale himself briefly was a member of. Due to that many regard Tale's sole production as an unknown part of ZAUBER's discography, even if the stylistic question in this case have stronger resemblances to the efforts by artists such as CAMEL and Anthony Philips.
The sole production of this project, ''Senza Frontiere'', was issued in 1994 on Italian label Kaliphonia Records.
