In 1991 Clepsydra released their first album "Hologram", which was followed by the EP "Fly Man" in 1993. Clepsydra then signed to InsideOut, who released their second album "More Grains of Sand" in 1994. This CD included the song Moonshine on Heights, which by many is regarded as neo-prog classic. 1994 also saw them performing two songs on national Swiss TV, a rare occurrence for a progressive rock band at that time.
In 1998 Clepsydra released their third album "Fears", the first album with Marco Cerulli on guitar. In the wake of the album release Clepsydra had a 10 day long European tour and was booked for a concert in Canada on the strength of this production. In 2001 the band released "Alone" with Nicola De Vita on bass. This album came with 3 different album covers: "The Chicken", "The Octopus" and "The Fish".
Following these four albums Clepsydra entered a state of hiatus. At this point they had established themselves as a popular entity among fans of neo-progressive rock, and they were often compared to the likes of Jadis, IQ and Fish-era Marillion. In 2013 Clepsydra announced they were reuniting, with Andy Thommen back on bass guitar and a reunion tour scheduled for 2014. A 4 CD box set limited to 1’000 pieces is on pre-order as of November 2013 to be shipped early 2014 featuring all 4 albums meticulously re-mastered with an hour of additional bonus material and unreleased material.

Tales from the PC
I was free alive enjoying life a rebel misfit who did not quite fit in
It was the Mid 90s the foundation of what you know ignorant and lost iPhone babies
I was a skate or die carved into my bones boy
today yesterday douchebag wannabes you
"think your cool don't you "all night gossip the stars align within my soul
box in a corner do know what its like to DIE!!
thank you for my heart scares you went to school got married guess what your in debt for learning what was written FOR FREE
in books
bought a house for someone you hate remember that
I have to laugh
The great Intiator raised me filled me full of venom got you
O I got You
walking in mud alone in the desert you cant pick it
choose it One of kind we are choosen
till the day I see you on the streets
so sorry techmo bowel dodge and diving Walter Payton today ill maul u up like the Bears of 1986
let it settle in climb that latter to my level
do it
what's wrong your scared you should be American bullshit morals designed by blood ignorant fight for your left your right
my vibe intoxicating got you drunk off my eyes
all you will remember is my bare one hundred too real back
A kid smoking drinking skating having fun but your words stole that you ran and hide like a bitch,
You say psychotic and guess what u lame fuck today I Will tear your heart and eyes out
A Mayan liber King
im no longer that little boy and I prefer the word psychosis
You did not get it the first time so let me repeat it
10O real as fuck to wicked for your fads MTv need attention at what ever cost Clepsydra Amplified

I forgot about this comment you'd made and was just sitting here listening through my headphones and was just thinking about how much actually goes in to composing and creating something like this.
