SCRIPT FOR A JESTER'S TEAR

1' Script For A Jester's Tear' 'So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts'.... and the crystalline piano, bam the decor is set; yes I'm not going to dissect the album, I'm just going to try to take you back to the past; this moment when you listened to it for the 1st time, Christian name of Zeus; yes, that moment when you said to yourself it's not possible, it happened, I no longer believed it; the moment when you arrived proudly at your buddy's, yes we all have a prog buddy and you hid the K7 and started reading; anyway... he had the same K7 that he wanted you to listen to before you did! What did you like, the pads yes, the guitar yes, the bass yes, the synth yes, the voice YES; the station wagon... progressive, perfection, neo was there; and I see your smile of bliss, don't say no, boom boom said Pete with his bass, he whose hand I kept without washing for several days after having greeted him; ah Steve in fact a great guitarist with a dreamlike spleen that goes hand in hand with the voice of Fish, in jester's tear of course, buffoon goes! 2 'He Knows You Know' connects ah this synth, ah this battery, ah sacred problems; short title with two singers, nah I'm kidding but hey we believed it for a while; these voiceovers behind as on 'Ashes' of the great Bowie, magnificent; good synth and guitar solo that suits me I don't ask for more, but I want it infused so that it flows in my veins forever; and who says that the prog is an old thing, I was 20 years old listening. Ah this Wallien final, which I still like 3 'The Web' pan orchestral debauchery and it continues, it connects on perhaps the best title of the album; a musical theater piece with bells, Genesis air: compulsory digressive pause yes GENESIS is their parent, it is certified, but as a hidden parent we agree; it's at this moment that I remember why the hard fanzines supported them, it was really and pleasantly strong all the same; well we come back to the title like just when tumbles this dithyrambic solo which does not end, attention guaranteed potential enjoyment. Come on Mick unrolls the panoply of his percussive kit and we start again on this bluffing melody and a second more intimate break; the end is almost too agreed with the age, I age? good The web anyway! 4 'Garden Party' for this characteristic hit on the pads, for this heady air on the keyboards, for this vocal work, yes the moment when the voice is indeed part of the musical space, that's stamped neoprog; good look at the clip it is cabbage with the time which passed since; here I start to write as fast as Mark touches his keyboards, I start to be delirious there... in short I am in apnea since 'Script' we are all there. 5 'Chelsea Monday' the second favorite song, yes I can say it's me who hammers the drums.... who hits the keyboard; monolithic sound, plaintive guitar notes, not depressive, a bit melancholy, it will make me want to look for ANATHEMA afterwards for these his laments; 'Chelsea Monday' and the telluric musical explosion, Steve who releases one of his most beautiful solos from the 1st album, pooh I'm sweaty! Well, let's calm down, the acoustics go perfectly with the mood of the moment; when I experienced the art of warrior love with the girlfriend of the moment... or always? Turn to mad love, darken to orgasm, yes the prodigal was very crazy at that time, perhaps much more than the poor young people of today drowned in futile zik-kleenex; shh we're talking in the speakers, I'm rambling, oh no it's in the title; good to Monday! 6 'Forgotten Sons' it's clever I just lost my radio frequency; ah a bit of Marquet Square heroes I'm getting closer; good the finale, the most rhythmic title, the most frenzied, the freshest at least at the start, yes because it starts to talk quickly and it breaks the rhythm precisely; ah, I'll almost forget this enjoyable twirling, progressive synth break I would say, yes I think it's actually prog; ooh there it becomes martial all of a sudden what did I do wrong? why so many voices attacking me, why this endless battery? why these cries? Why? Good solo less good or better, it depends on the time I listen to it but what is good, dreamlike moment to keep for oneself; well what will happen now, we don't know, hold on tight, here we go.
