"- By Sabie Martin (FR) 20/06/2014 – About 7inch EP Une fois de plus vous vous êtes surpassés et avez rendu cet album encore plus puissant. On y distingue quelques connotations un peu différentes du précédent album mais on reconnaît la touche In Limbo. Ce qui fait que vous êtes vous, vos influences.. Ces moments planants ou d’un seul coup un raz de marais vous submerge. Le calme avant la tempête. Réimpression.. J’adore le début avec ces lignes de basse seules. Le son monte doucement, d’autres instruments viennent s’y mêler et d’un coup explosion. Les quelques notes de piano me rappelle un morceau mais lequel.. Souvenir perdu ou Alzheimer.. Entre les deux morceaux un tourbillon nous aspire.. Migration.. Je ne sais pas si c’est parce que l’été arrive mais purée que c’est super sympa ces nouvelles notes de musique chaudes en couleurs. Le son des percus rend le final encore plus grand. On s’y croirait presque. Cette idée de vinyle pour la pochette est grandiose. On pense tout de suite au bon vieux temps où l’on glissait notre 45 tours ou le vieux 33 tours de nos parents sur notre platine … la grande époque où l’on pouvait écouter un son totalement différent. Avec un peu de souvenirs et d’imagination on pourrait presque sentir à nouveau l’odeur des disques.. Merci à vous de nous faire partager ce que vous faites pour le grand bonheur de nos oreilles.. Et merci pour ce voyage au pays du soleil.. " - http://www.in-limbo.fr/en/index.php "By Sabie Martin (FR) 20.06.2014 - About 7inch EP Once again you have outdone themselves and have made this album even more powerful. We can distinguish some slightly different connotations of the previous album but it recognizes the key In Limbo. What makes you you, your influences .. These spacey times or a sudden a tidal marsh overwhelms you. The calm before the storm.Reprint .. I love the beginning with these lines only low. The sound rises slowly, other instruments come to mingle and a sudden explosion. Few piano notes reminds me of a song, but lost that .. or Alzheimer Remembrance .. Between the two pieces a vortex sucks us .. Migration .. I do not know if it's because summer is coming but puree that is super nice these new hot music notes in color. The sound of percussion makes the final even greater. We believe it almost. This idea of vinyl cover is great. We immediately think of the good old days when we slid our 45s or the old 33 rpm of our parents on our deck ... the big time when you could hear a completely different sound. With a few memories and imagination one could almost feel the smell of new discs .. Thank you to you to share with us what you do for the pleasure of our ears .. And thank you for this journey to the land of the sun .." (Google translated) By Nico Chouchoup (Guitarist, composer, FR) 19/06/2014 – Discover his own project : Tit Patapons About de 7"EP : [...]Et c'est parti pour un nouveau In Limbo ... Le ton monte doucement. Je pense encore une fois au groupe grenoblois "Rien", [...] "Un ou deux sons un peu étonnants sur le premier passage énervé où j'aurais préféré entendre des grosses distos que des claviers, mais passons vite à la suite : un très chouette passage à base d'arpèges, c'est tout con, mais le 5/4 ça vous change un morceau ! Et c'est la basse qui drive clairement une bonne partie du morceau, beaucoup de rythme sous les doigts. On arrive sur un passage avec des "rhodes" bien psyché qui rendent très bien aussi. Et puis un espèce d'empilement de grattes et de claviers se profile, y'en a dans tous les sens. Et ça marche. Mais dites moi les In Limbo, y'a jamais eu autant de pistes simultanées dans vos morceaux que depuis que vous êtes seulement 3 non ? Un très chouette son sur cette descente qui n'en fini pas (vous avez rajouté des cordes aux grattes ou quoi ?) Le son est d'ailleurs excellent, ça donne envie d'aller ré-écouter le précédent album et celui d'encore avant pour voir si c'était déjà aussi bon ou si ça a encore progressé. Le morceau se calme, je revois une fois de plus le groupe "Rien". Ah tiens, y'a une coupure bizarre par contre à un endroit ... Ah bah non, c'est qu'on a déjà fini le premier titre et qu'on est passé au deuxième, j'ai pas vu le temps passer ces 9 dernières minutes. J'ai l'impression qu'on remonte un peu le temps avec ce deuxième titre, c'est plus les floyd que j'entends d'un coup. J'aime beaucoup l'utilisation qui est faite des claviers, à la fois discrets et présents. J'ai besoin d'écouter plusieurs fois la fin pour m'en convaincre par contre, cette sorte de "battle" percus/batterie me laisse un peu circonspect à la première écoute, est-ce que c'est un problème de mix (le tout se mélange et on ne sait pas trop distinguer qui fait quoi) ou alors un problème de timbre entre le djumbé et les toms de la batterie qui sont un peu trop proches (tiens ça mériterait une p'tite derbouka qui claque par dessus, bon ça changerait un peu trop la couleur du morceau surement), bref, à la troisième écoute je m'y suis fait, puis du coup je me remet tout le titre pour écouter la percu sur le reste du morceau, je l'avais pas entendu au premier abord. Bref, encore une réussite ces deux titres, et puis ça fait plaisir de voir du nouveau son alors que le précédent album date seulement de l'année dernière, les In-Limbo nous avaient appris à devoir être plus patients que ça ! :) Un p'tit coup d'oeil au graphisme : très bien foutu, comme d'hab, et toujours dans la même ambiance. " By Fred Bezies (FR) 19/06/2014 – Frédéric Bezies' Blog About 7"EP : "[...]Dans la première piste, on retrouve l’ambiance si typique du groupe, avec les influences floydienne, crimsonienne, avec une mélodie douce, planante, qui n’exclue pas des petits passages un peu plus remuants. Le dernier tiers de la piste est tout en puissance, avec un fond sonore qui fait penser au space rock des pionniers comme le peu connu groupe Touch. La transition avec la deuxième piste passe comme une lettre à la poste. Presque un peu trop courte, mais faisant quand presque 5 minutes, cette piste nous plonge encore et toujours dans ce son chaud et vintage des années 1970. Son qui a bercé la génération de mes parents… Ah, que c’est bon ! Surtout trop court. Encore un excellent petit opus, avec des compositions qui montrent que c’est bien dans les vieux pots qu’on fait la meilleure soupe ! Je me demande quelles seront les deux prochaines notes du solfège explorées par le groupe... ;) " By Nico Chouchoup (Guitarist, composer, FR) 19.06.2014 - Discover His Own project: Tit Patapon
About 7 "EP: "[...] And it's gone to a new In Limbo ... The tone rises gently I think again the Grenoble group." Nothing, "[...] One or two sounds a little surprising upset on the first part where I would have preferred to hear big distos as keyboards, but let's quickly following: a very nice way based arpeggios, this is stupid, but the 5/4 that you exchange a piece! And it's low drive which clearly a good part of the song, a lot of rhythm in your fingers. We arrive at a passage with "rhodes" well psyche that make great too. And then a kind of stacking guitars and keyboards profile y'en in all directions. And it works. But tell me In Limbo, there's never been so many simultaneous tracks in your songs since you only 3 right? A very nice sound on this descent who do not finish (you have added strings to guitars or what?) The sound is also excellent, it makes you want to re-listen to the previous album and that further before to see if it was already as good or if it has progressed further. The piece is quiet, I see once again the group "Nothing". Oh look, there's a weird cleavage against a place ... Ah bah not, is that we have already finished the first title and the second one happened, I did not see the time passing the last 9 minutes. I feel that back a little time with this second title is more floyd I hear a shot. I love the use made of keyboards, both discrete and present. I need to listen several times to convince me end by against this kind of "battle" percussion / drums I'm a little wary at first listen, is that this is a problem of mix ( perfectly blended and we do not know too distinguish who does what) and then issue a stamp between djumbe and toms battery that are a little too close (like it deserves p'tite derbouka slamming over, good it would change a little too color piece probably) short, the third listening I'm done, then I suddenly puts everything the title to listen to the perceived over the rest of the song, I had not heard at first. Short, yet successful both titles, and then it's nice to see the new sound while the previous album was released only last year, the In-Limbo we have learned to be more patient than that! :) A little look at the design: very well done, as usual, and always in the same atmosphere." By Fred Bezies (FR) 06.19.2014 - Frédéric Bezies' Blog About 7 "EP: [...] In the first track, there is the typical atmosphere of the group, with floydienne influences crimsonienne with a sweet melody, planing, which does not exclude small passages a little more restless. The last third of the runway is in power, with a background sound that is reminiscent of space rock pioneers like the little-known group Touch. transition with the second track is as a letter in the mail. almost too short, but when doing almost 5 minutes, this track takes us again and again in this hot vintage sound and 1970s. Its that has rocked the generation of my parents ... Ah, that's good! Especially too short. Another great little album, with compositions that show that it is in the old pots that makes the best soup! I wonder what the next two notes of music theory explored by the group ... ;)" (Google translated)

Imo, IN LIMBO is Symphonic Prog. I thought to suggest IN LIMBO for Crosssover Prog only, because I have been told that the Symphonic Prog Team are not willing to accept 'free download' and 'name your price' releases, but I change my mind - every has its exception, isn't?

I have written many of profiles and reviews (in my language of course) and it is quite difficult to be only sitting at the PC and write on and on. The real life is out there and not in the virtual world. I don't agree that one album bandcamp bands belongs on ProgArchives, if it is not something really extra.

It actually doesn't matter what you think about Bandcamp. The PA rules are very clear here:
Also, I mind you that Bandcamp stream is too many times the only way for the Teams to hear the whole album and then to decide is that stuff really prog or not - be that "something really extra" or not. |

OK thanks for the informations, I know that
But the result is that symphonic team don't accept your suggest. Sometimes the less is more and PA collabs make exceptions for a bandcamp bands many times. I understand them, because making profiles takes a lot of time. |

Well, they don't say anything yet about the band. Maybe they will ignore this band because their stuff is available for free download. That's why I suggested IN LIMBO for Crossover Prog too, because IN LIMBO belongs to PA. This is prog without a question. Last but not least, this is nicely recorded album & EP.

Well, based on the full album on bandcamp symphonic it ain't...The strongest elements appear to come from Post Rock, containing evident symphonic and even some jazzy and psychedelic hints.Xover is a good candidate or I could see this band accepted even in Eclectic.Good find anyway.

I heard it Svetonio.
OUTSTANDING music But I see them in Eclectic due to the Jazz, Post Rock and Symphonic elements blended with care. Excellent discovery. My best choices are: 1.- Eclectic 2.- Fusion 3.- Xover Iván PS: You know we accepted bands that only released albums in MP3 format. Edited by Ivan_Melgar_M - June 22 2014 at 23:19 |

Well,
My english is poor and i don't understand the whole conversation here. But, many many Thanks to Svetonio. We're honored by your post which contains elements from our website ! If i understand, you want to propose In Limbo for PA's database, and it isn't possible ?! No problem at all. Crossover prog... symphonic prog... I don't know. We try to execute OUR own prog sounds witch melt all our influences ans sounds a little 'fresh'... Nothing else. By the way i'll try to explain the reason why we've choosen 'FreeDownload'. We're not professionnals musicians. We like to hearing & doing music (Prog Rock in particular but not only). No label, no production, recording at home with personal poor (and old) equipments. So, no ambition at all, other than share our sounds as possible all over the world. Why people have to spend money ? Our stuff isn't really extra, we know that. But some people, seems to like it around the world and say it (social networks). And we're pleased about that. No need to be in these database with real Prog'Rock masters. But if you like it, talk about it ! Share the links. Leave us a comment... here is our objective ! Even though, Stats downloads are better since you talk about us here See you, Yome, In Limbo's bassist and technician. Edited by in-limbo - June 24 2014 at 06:35 |

Actually, the Archives is not archived just what is the extra (or "extra") stuff, the Archives is to archive all prog bands and solo artists; of course, under the rules of the Archives. I'm not musician, I'm just a fan, and for my ears your music is excellent. After all, it's important for your addition in Archives that here are already two Collaborators who are positively assessed your music. Regards!

I understand this team. Not easy to classify a sefproduced band in the middle of professional products.
Combine Professionnal & hobbyist productions could be disturbing for the users. Maybe the Archives could have a place just to selproduced bands. I'm sure, a lot of bands using Free Licences are more talented than us ! But, of course, if one day, a team accept our stuf, so we'll be pleased ! Thank you for all that you do and very happy to be heared in Serbia ! Best regards, |

This doesn't seem to have been picked up by any of the subs, and some seem to think that it fits with us so I have added it to the Crossover charts.

The new album is great! It is the one of the best new realeses for sure.
And I like the band's position - "no label, no production". It's cool. |
