4 stars 1. La Gare De Troyes yes the synth, the hypnotic riff, the voice, it's always ANGE; well you have to listen to the words even more, the sounds are in the ambient air; you must not do this, you must not do that, so you do what you can; repetitive feeling with these keyboards that are too modern perhaps; a nod of course to my station since I don't gravitate too far from it ultimately to the point that I believed that this title was just for me at the start 2. A Saute-Mouton romantic marshmallow ballad, the air thing that sticks to your ears and clings to them; title which becomes sensual... on all fours all the same, and Serge who tries his hand at soloing well supported by Francis on a funky final genre 3. Question of Generations yes 40 years later the question continues to arise; yes after 68 we are still there discussing these questions; you don't have 100 balls let's move on to something else, there's his train that's going to leave, yes it's all about this train.. concept? in any case the ANGE sound has evolved, good or bad it is no longer the same and it's good to have something on hand 4. Go ahead, it is said; what violence, what sentence you face; the concept album I tell you about these conflicts, about family, about disagreements; well let's come back to Marc Fontana's sax at once, in the vein of 'Subway' which will be released 2 years later, but don't pull the trigger 5. Bizarre Moments yes it's strange to discover a new ANGEL with syncopated drums, a metallic sound and 80's keyboards without Francis' hook; yes it's weird, it's funny Chaumont, Troyes, yes this strange break on 'Atlantis' and this cavernous voice, well a little prog blood there and a great adventure

6. Sheherazade for the melancholic ballad or almost; for the melody and its hypnotic riff, this bass concocted by Laurent Sigrist, yes the members begin to parade, yes even with white gloves it began to 'sound false', an implacable observation of this society, of this world in drift; sax again for the velvety effect on this riff which still follows me, easy sometimes; hello the beautiful Sheherazade 7. Les Jardins yes there was 'About ' before and I often think of the laze ball while listening to that one; yes this keyboard captivates me, yes the chorus counters the verse well, yes the basic but effective rise and the guitar solo on a spleen melting chocolate cake always makes me shudder; yes simple but... so effective since I have the impression that it's the longest title, ah crescendo of hell 8. Nine Hours piano and I hear Tristan on vocals, weird that... the voice on a bar jazz ballad to make you melt; well listen to the text everything is in it; well listen to this cold... yet there should be no more war; dramatic this piano, yes you have to wait but this title makes you spleen to the highest level with this orgasmic rise 9. All Blue! ... that's just from the intro we understood; blue my favorite color, blue the feeling of being drowned; prog metal title all at once with the riff, the drums, everything to set the rhythm; the chorus which returns to a more angelic sound, the musical moment which melts; the end is not the break with this mysterious synth and we go underneath; the last straw is there, the monolithic dark space with Christian's rambling...and who loves me follows me, time has stopped with this progressive moment; the pompous finale, with a brutal sound of drums and choirs, to escape and dream of a better world; in short why I love blue!!
