I discovered Univers Zero somewhat late, when "Heatwave" was released, so to me the departure of Roger Trigeaux on this album was not any issue to me.

The music, like any Univers Zero album, is closer to avant garde chamber music than rock, although there are enough rock elements hidden in the pieces to merit their inclusion. And it is spectacular music. These pieces remind me somewhat of Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic, with some Danny Elfman thrown in (yes, I know UZ precedes both of these artists, that's just what the music seems like to me).

While the frenetic pace of the opening track, Dense appeals to me greatly, I find the Combat (the other twelve minute piece), is the one I return to most on this album.

For chamber-style avant prog, there is no equal to UZ.
