The one and only album from this band from France.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This one hour long album is one of the more obscure albums released in the last twenty-five years here in Europe. It was released on a sub-label of Musea in France. It has also been labeled as neo-prog in ProgArchives and other places. Nobody agrees with that label.
The music here is basically heavy prog with some symphonic prog influences and some faint hints of neo-prog influences.
The vocals are in French and the music is in the French symphonic prog tradition. It is just a bit more heavy and has more catchy songs than being outright symphonic prog.
The sound is not particular impressive, but it still an acceptable sound.
There is a lot of chugging, heavy guitars here with the keyboards playing a supporting role.
There are also a couple of pastoral songs here which reminds me about the RPI scene. There is some RPI influences here indeed. Of the French bands, Nemo is the one I would compare this band and their music with.
The songs are pretty good and this album therefore deserve a lot more attention. There is a lot to like here although some of the songs are not up to an acceptable standard. Check out this album. An album deserving a re-release and some proper promotion.
