Vent D'Est - Vent D'Est (1980)

The one and only album from this band from France.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, piano, guitar synths, keyboards, synths and vocals.

This band released this album and then broke up. 

Which is a bit of a shame..... although their music was by 1980 a bit dated.

We are listening to French melodic symphonic prog here. Ange and Mona Lisa is two good references. 

Vent D'Est is a bit more poppy and a bit west-coast orientated than those two bands. Some of the vocals here are in French and some in English.

The music has a French feel and sound, though.

The quality is also good throughout. A bit more symphonic prog would have made it better. Nevertheless, this is an album well worth checking out.
