The fourth album from this artist from France.
Alain Markusfeld did the guitars, organ, piano, harmonica and some vocals here.
He got help from two guests who provided percussion, marimba and female vocals.
I have had his two final albums hanging around in my collection for the last ten years. It was my plan to review them years ago but that did not happen. Hence... I am reviewing the other album before the end of the year.
Alain was first and foremost a composer and a guitarist. He composed music for his need to express himself on guitars. And he got a good career from that and other work as a composer. He is revered in France and in most of the progressive rock scene.
The music here is mostly based on a mix of acoustic and electric guitars. The other instruments are playing a supporting role here. The vocals is more like voices than real vocals.
The music is a mix of cinematic rock and French folk music. There are also some French symphonic prog here on this forty minutes long album.
This album is pretty much a guitar hero album, to be worshipped by guitarists and those into guitars. The music is more esoteric and eclectic than melodic.
There are indeed some good parts here. But not all of this album is good. Hence....
2.5 points
