CRÉATION DE L'UNIVERS

Like Salty Jon says, there are no flaws on this album, in fact this is an incredible album filled with Fender Rhodes, organ, chunky bass and fantastic drumming. The three members are from the band SETNA and Wayside Music describes the music here as : "...think SETNA channeling ONE SHOT, but in a more proggy way". There is some guest sax and female vocals along with Chau Gongs which really add some atmosphere to the proceedings. Love the cover art and our own Udi Koomran mastered this gem in Tel Aviv.

"Feu" opens quietly with atmosphere as it slowly builds. It kicks in at part 2 with chunky bass, drums and keyboards. Great sound here as they seem to jam. A change before 4 minutes as the keyboards stop and so does the beat as the organ takes over. Part 3 features more organ as bass and drums help out. Again this is fantastic. It settles 2 minutes in with female vocal melodies. Cool section. "Terre" opens with waves of organ that washes in over and over. Amazing. Part 2 is where the beat comes in with male and female vocal melodies. Very Zeuhlish. Electric piano to the fore as the vocals stop. Keyboards are outstanding 6 minutes in. Part 3 features keys and atmosphere. The synths are a nice touch before 2 minutes. "Metal" opens with piano as male then female vocal melodies join in. It picks up before 2 minutes as drums and massive bass lines join in. Part 2 is keys in a melancholic soundscape and what sounds like string bass then mellotron, then it brightens some 3 minutes in with female vocal melodies.

"Eau" is keyboard led as bass joins in then drums. Melancholic keyboards also join in. So good. Sounds like mellotron again then organ before the tempo picks up. Female vocals 4 minutes in as it gets fuller with organ. Huge bass 7 minutes in. In fact this guy is just killing it with his bass before 6 1/2 minutes on. Part 2 has a good low end sound to it with keys as it slowly plays out. Mellotron after 2 minutes as it picks up. Now that is for sure mellotron. Synths join in then some nice bass with more mellotron. Freaking amazing. "Bois" opens with gentle keys with gongs in the background. It picks up before a minute. I'm thinking MAGMA here. Part 2 features sax, drums, piano and bass in a more energetic tempo. Organ before 1 1/2 minutes. It's a little avant sounding after 2 minutes until that energetic melody of earlier returns after 4 minutes. Part 3 opens with keys and gongs.Organ floats in.This slowly plays out the rest of the way.

It's just a pleasure to listen to some new Zeuhl especially when it's so well done. A must for Zeuhl fans.
