Kazuhiro Miyatake Part 2: Pazzo Fanfano di Musica and Hirayama's Symphonia

 

Inevitably one album or artist leads to another.    Following the database information for the composer Miyatake, I saw he was in other bands separate from Mr. Sirius and Pageant.

The band called  Pazzo Fanfano di Musica presumably as a homage or tribute to the classics of Italian prog (Paese dei Balocchi, PFM, Celeste, etc.) is a one-off from 1989 which I enjoyed quite a bit, though it's neither as good as Mr. Sirius nor, of course, those aforementioned old Italians. Flowers for Algernon, which novelette I've mentioned before I loved as a child (probably would hate it now as I get closer and closer to inevitable dementia):

So as you can tell, mix of symphonic with a lot of classical, baroque elements thrown in, perhaps recalling mostly Maxophone from the old days-- not as good of course.

Teru's Symphonia:

Japanese symphonic progressive rock band founded in Osaka, Japan in 1983 and disbanded in 1999.

Amazingly, they put out 7 albums so far.  

This is the one from 1994, with involvement by Miyatake. Same style as Pageant to my ear.  Friday the 13th:
