Magister Dixit - Cellule De Crise (2006)

 

The third and final album from this band from France.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, violin, piano and vocals.

The band returned after their second album which I reviewed earlier this month in this blog. A good album in the zeuhl genre.

Their albums are very short and could have been a lot longer. Twenty-eight minutes is bordering to ripping off the record buyer. 

The music is again softly spoken zeuhl. The jazzy end of the zeuhl spectrum comes to the forefront here. Despite of being labeled as a jazz album by many others, this is still a proper zeuhl album.

The tempo is fast. The music is rather light and fluffy.

The vocals, both male and female vocals, are fast and a bit staccato. They are in the proper zeuhl tradition in other words.

The music is good throughout. The band should have delivered a proper length album and that is a major problem with this album. Hence....

2.5 points
