2 stars Bernard Paganotti recruiting the voice of Zeuhl Klaus Blasquiz. Should be a recipe for brilliance, especially after the debut Paga album which I almost gave 5 stars.

It starts off well, with a funky jazzy and ominous sounding bass line. The vocals though are far more catchy 80s chorus line than Magma's MDK and takes a very cheesy slant (round and round and round you go....). After the frustration of that title track, the instrumental In A Spiral is a decent number - far more jazz fusion than actual Zeuhl but definitely catchy.

Sadly the rest of the tracks don't really improve on the cheesy theme of the first, and mostly just leads to a frustrating listen, thinking about what could have been. Memorial and King For a Day are just cheesy 80s tracks, and the album then fizzles out with a couple of short, calm instrumentals.

Real shame.
