Tale

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.
