2 stars As most of "Heldon" works, this "Rêve Sans Conséquence?" is not to be placed into all hands.

If ever you are fan of delicate prog electronic, the shock with the opening track "Marie Virginie C." might be fatal. It is a full and free jamming, experimental and VERY noisy track. Nothing to do with prog electronic as far as I'm concerned. More sounding as a second (at best) tier KC. Pinhas showed already lots of inclinations towards the master, but I can't tell that this particular track (which lasts for almost twelve minutes) does any good to his fame.

This might well be the most hermetic of their albums. The totally experimental "Elephanta" is just a parody of noisy elements which is stretched to the upper limit (over eight minutes!). So far, this album leaves me quite perplexed: I'm still looking to the first good and "listenable" moment.

OK. The jamming "Perspective IV Ter Muco" is by far the most bearable so far. Great beat (almost some "Santana" feel can be experienced) and some delightful guitar. But it holds more with free jazz than with prog electronic for sure.

I'm afraid that I won't rate this album as high as my colleagues. But I don't like very much the music that is played here. No feeling, inexpressive, void. Impossible to categorize really.

"Un rêve sans conséquences spéciales" holds more of a nightmare than a dream to me.

I am rating this album with two stars, but I'm not quite sure why. Not for the quarter of an hour of synthetic and VERY noisy sounds that can be heard during "Toward The Red Line".
