ARDEUR

But, the shorter tracks and fast paced scatty vocals are incredibly catchy. Being slightly more accessible, in French rather than Kobaian, makes Eskaton a good entry point into Zeuhl style. However some of the elements fused into this actually make it more diverse than the likes of Magma in parts.

Ardeur, Couvert De Gloire, and Pierre Et L'ange are all upbeat, uptempo tracks full of the scatty vocals, with excellent range shown by the two vocalists. Attente is still uptempo but a little more sinister sounding, particularly with the introduction of the synths. This, and the song Eskaton are two tracks that appear on 4 Visions in a longer form. Undecided which I like more.

Dagon and Un Certain Passage however, I find a little boring. Dagon is just a bit messy without going anywhere, and Un Certain Passage is a chilled out track that is trying to be 'ethereal' without actually doing so.

On the whole, this album has some fantastic tracks, but as a whole piece, 4 Visions is slightly better. Still squeezes into 4 stars though, as an excellent example of accessible Zeuhl style.
