On saturdays I often do a tour of the Parisian musical librarys to get new records.Apart from getting the new Robert Wyatt live at Drury Lane and some other good stuff, I took two CD's from a french group Catharsis, a Spalax release and as so often with Spalax the credits ar more than sparse. there are no release dates, but the cover and the band members looks 100% 70's. The records go under Volume1 : Masq and Volume 2 les Chevrons. I haven't heard the records yet.Does anyone know them? Musicians: Roland Bocquet: Orgue Piano Niles Brown: Guitar Violon Charlotte : Vocals Violon Yves de Roubaix : Guitar Vocals Charlie Eddi : Percussion Alain Geoffroy: Charango Piano Patrick Moulia: Guitar Vocals PS there is another active french metal band with the same name, apparently a popular name in the french rock scene ------------- Tadpoles keep screaming in my ear "Hey there!

Thanx Tuz, apparently they are Prog, but "....Otherwise it sounds like a bunch of tripped-out folks who've temporarily forgotten how to play their instruments." ------------- Tadpoles keep screaming in my ear "Hey there! Rotter's Club! Explain the meaning of this song and share it" |

Catharsis were a very mixed bag; they could be great but they could be tedious too. Oh, and their albums sometimes were ridiculously short. I mean, come on, 22 minutes length for a whole album? That's just enough for half an album. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Sounds very interesting!
