But "Signature" is not just a "Best Of" for Huygen aka Neuronium, the tracks selected for this compilation have a very special meaning for the artist: "All the tracks on "Signature" are..

Great, new, progressive/symphonic rock album from one of the longest lived (on and off) Italian progressive bands, who can trace their history back to the late 60s!
