A highly compelling creation from this experienced French ensemble.

Their slightly quirky musical wanderings takes inspirations from a number of different stylistic expressions; although they do seem to limit blending them all together at once. So while the opening number plays around with space-tinged effects in an otherwise heavy sounding excursion, the second and third tracks draw more of their inspiration from the symphonic side of progressive music, the latter of these pretty close to vintage Neo-prog, while the fourth composition mix in more majestic symphonic elements. The fifth tune here looks towards jazz for additional elements, while final track and giant epic Barbares utilizes elements from folk music.

All of this in a neat package with compositions ever changing and evolving; where the musical foundation seems to be a form of heavy art rock. Very well made and performed; and as long as French lyrics isn't regarded as troublesome an album safely recommended to the eclecticly-minded progressive rock fan.
