POST SCRIPTUM

"Solitaire" prog intro, acoustic on the rippling guitar, suave vocals; a text on the desire to live outside of the current world. Evolving music in a captivating "Inspector Gadget" mode. The sensual, intense guitar once again demonstrates its sharp playing with Florent's expressive drums; a Pain Of Salvation feel for the melancholic finale. "Jekyll" continues with Stéphane's catchy piano, an intimate piece, "if I were president", the contribution of Élise's choir mirroring and the heavy explosion. The velvety keyboard, everything is in phase on this shivering beat. " (Obviously) I surrender" with its proven groove, reverberating, flickering guitar, Élise giving the answer to JPL on a defeatist, intimate air in which the fruity and energetic solo comes to give a little hope. "Man is a wild animal" for prog metal, as fierce as the animal side that inhabits us; a hard tune reminiscent of the 80s French bands flooding the airwaves, like Trust on the soft side, Thin Lizzy for this polyrhythmic ballad moment, a true indictment against accessing today's most repressed desires; the Radiohead-esque finale is excellent.

"Puzzle" begins, recalling the touch of Knopfler, then the tune moves into a playful episode combining choral vocals with raging guitar, devastating with its rhythmic, dissonant melodic variation. Pure beauty with the solemn, contemplative outro. "Les fantômes" returns with a tortured heavy sound where electric guitar is the mainstay, like Michael Schenker. A good, greasy 80s sound, slightly nostalgic, with Élise still too much in the background and Jean- Baptiste in ecstasy. "Postscriptum" is the apotheosis, or how to make a vulgar French rock band look like a prog band, even in postscriptum! Rock, blistering blues, a steady then frenetic rhythm, a time-honored organ and the riff behind it. A few wanderings and the tune picks up steam with the final keyboard, simple, warm, almost electronic, inviting you to relax without getting carried away.

Jean Pierre Louveton has released a French gem where the lyrics blend more easily with the melodies, the female vocal contribution bringing the sound to refined melodic moments. Originally released on Progcensor.
