The third album from this band from France.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, piano, organ, celesta, moog, synths and vocals.
Two guests added guitars and saxophone on one track.
I reviewed their two first albums back in November 2013 for # 1 of this blog.... and then I promptly forgot about the band. The band has in total released six albums and I will review the remaining four albums this autumn.
Last Flight is the final of the three albums released in the 1970s. The band started out as a symphonic prog band and then developed into a more chanson pop band on their second album, the 1976 album Windows.
The band has again developed a bit during these three years. There is some west-coast California psych rock and pop in their music too. There is even some Canterbury prog here and Caravan springs to mind. So does AOR.
The vocals is good. The music on this fifty minutes long album is rather elegant too. That is mainly because of the thin sounding vocals and the chanson pop which there is a lot of on this album.
The result is a rather charming, likeable album who lacks a lot of quality but still is a decent to good album.
2.5 points
