NIGHTINGALES & BOMBERS

1 Spirits In The Night yes Bruce SPRINGSTEEN has been there, MMEBs can't make hits, one of the taboos of prog rock in fact... so they're going to take songs from some big names and grab them, from positive way; already hold the break with the crowd in the distance, the organ which navigates and invites the guitar, ah this guitar which pierces, which squirts... which does its job in a monstrous way; a perfect prog title as I like them, a bit of violin scratching and that's how in those days we didn't take the trouble to do very good. 2 Countdown for the interlude in my opinion or how to make an instrumental that washes your ears after such a title; Good 3 Time Is Right hard attack, I always thought that this group lacked something to be even better; it goes up too soft, but it goes up all the same and in the end, the drums and the guitar take you quickly to progressive lands; 2 mn and boom the progression occurs, as with the BJH, suddenly we feel that it goes elsewhere; it vibrates, it titillates, it titillates; finished the conventional chorus-verse, we went off track! 4'30'' and a glimmer of Visionary.. we will have to wait for the B side, huge, the clock, PINK FLOYD, the country guitar, these sound effects that only the proguous can understand, it's the good time 4 Crossfade or the counterpart of 2; the limited title linked from the previous one to drift a little more on the southern lands of prog; or how Manfred uses his beast by extracting sounds from elsewhere, extra-terrestrials; the contribution of the guitar for a fight in perfect similarity 5 Visionary Mountains .... here is the title, THE TITLE, the one that symbolizes easy-to-access prog; an intro, the intro, the rise, this vibrato, the languorous voice limits MOODY BLUES, warm, warm, haunting and so comfortable; the guitar which spleens, which vibrates, the organ because yes MMEB is the Hammond organ; the cymbal, the angelic voices, bare sirens that graze on a rock of seaweed and it starts again like a surf 6 Nightingales And Bombers much worse than Visionary but with a superb entry; a declination, a purely MMEB musical research with vibrations, a more telling jazzy side, a gradual departure from the title to arrive at a surging Mick's guitar, free rock, free jazz, it really rocks on a dreamlike crescendo which puts you in a trance; put elsewhere in the album this title is purely enjoyable; a bell, a cymbal and it starts again; yes the standard prog must be inside this album 7 Fat Nelly for a Manfred interlude with the help of his friend on the guitar, or how to create a frenetic title? would like to pass the organ of the WHO backwards and there it was well before 8 As Above So Below (Recorded Live) and another bonus, yes I take certain titles as a plus, as a singular research apart, like ... a declination, a moment of improvisation, a non 'radio edit' title , something that you would only see in concert, a jam... but there it is .. for you, for us: the air gets going; there's everything I like to know about musical exploration, you don't know where it's going to take us and that's what's good, very good; well it gets into action, the mothership is about to dock, well, maybe they know the ELOs too... in short, don't be afraid since the chaffinch won't stop singing!

MMEB released a major album with pharaminous titles on it and other titles of pure musical research; an album which would surely not work today but which gave the band its letters of nobility, prog of course! ... Emotion memory sequence.
