NICOLAS II

I recently bought this CD, and, as in the case of TRITON, their previous album, I instantly enjoyed the music. The album is all instrumental, very jazzy, led by an excellent guitar work, some hammond organ and electric piano. The songs are short but very energic, with the typical french jazz style found in other excellent bands like SPHEROE or the canadians SLOCHE. A dark feeling is also noticed, specially in the composition, due to the MAGMA influences, as POTEMKINE opened that band shows in France. A very good album, an excellent addition to any prog music collection, specially for jazzy tastes.
