I just got this album recently, and I think I like it better than any Ange album I've heard yet, and it's mostly because of "Sur la trace des fees," which I think captures the spirit of opera within rock music very convincingly. And that's hard to do. It's very dramatic, but not in a cloying or saccharine sort of way, which is usually how "rock opera" comes across imo. Decamps is such a great and powerfully emotional singer that it more than makes up for the slightly pedestrian musical backing. Though I do think Ange's musicians had improved a lot since their early days. ------------- www.emkog.com |

I can't say. I have heard the album once or twice, about 28 years ago. -------------

I'd say Le nain de Stanislas, followed by Le marchand de Planète, and finally by Sur la trace des fées.
I prefer Au-delà du délire and Guet-apens, though, both excellent albums. ------------- Les mains, les pieds balancés Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers, Un marin mort, Il dormira - Paul Éluard |

Bele Bele petit chevre, Ode a Emile, Ego & Deus. This was the only Ange album that I had for years. It still ranks among my favourites while many albums have fallen away ... ------------- "Here I am talking to some of the smartest people in the world and I didn't even notice,” Lieutenant Columbo, episode The Bye-Bye Sky-High I.Q.

Although I think its predecessor Au Dela du Delire is better, Emile Jacotey is a very strong album by a band unjustly neglected by many on PA. I also find it mildly irritating that Ange are often very lazily compared to Genesis, (presumably on the flimsy premise that there is a theatrical bent to much of their earlier work ?)

Au-delà du Délire is the only Ange album I've heard, and based on it I really should get my hands on some of their other works. Haven't found any so far... ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!
