4 stars A truly intriguing offering of eclectically synthesizing music from a young band from Marseille that is flawed by performance and sound issues.

1. "Falling Structures" (11:05) some AWESOME parts and ideas flawed by engineering issues and lack of practice(?) (17.25/20)

2. "Lizard" (9:58) a bit sprawling--and, again, a bit flawed by production issues (Louise's vocals) but not as badly as the previous song. I really like the shoegazey vocal banks in the eighth minute and the Phillip Glass-like percussive minimalism that follows. Again, some absolutely awesome ideas here that could've been polished and recorded better. (18/20)

3. "Why" (11:02) here I hear the PORTISHEAD influences. The roaring psychedelia in the instrumental part is effective. And then it goes stark silent save for a hard-picking electric guitar, but then segues back into dreamy psychedelia. Then classical piano chord hits with creepy whole-group chanting before shifting into almost Zeuhlish section. Crescendo of cacophony dissipates into PINK FLOYD-ish space-opera music over which buzz-saw electric guitar begins to solo. Very melodic. Interesting and unusual song. (17.75/20)

Total Time 32:05

B+/four stars; an excellent addition of eclectic and unpredictable psychedelia to any prog lover's music collection. A band to watch--especially if they decide to really polish the performances of their very refreshing and interesting compositions--and if they want to give the sound engineering the time necessary to perfect their mixes.
