GIN ROSÉ AT THE ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL

This track is quite a daunting task to apprehend: it is a long story of almost seventy (70) minutes of music which starts in a very smoothly and totally spacey mood. Over fifteen minutes of a very quiet and pleasant journey to tell you the truth. To be faithful, I would also say that I miss the beauty and "froideur" (coldness) of their early works; but let's not show too much criticism here.

After some twenty minutes, the TD feel is quite obvious even if the masterpieces of this great shadow are of course not met. At least, the music developed reminds these great and glory days (at least, it is MHHO).

The rhythm is building nicely and leads to some more "upbeat" parts. Don't get me wrong: this is not to be compared to some TD adventures of the nineties. It only lasts for some five minutes and paved the way to a wonderful and melodic portion.

I wouldn't be honest to tell you that I listen to this album quite often; but what I can tell you is that when I do so, I am quite relaxed and serene after this very long piece of (improvised) music. Dramatic beauty and ethereal glory are not too much present during this oeuvre but the whole is rather enjoyable.

Some sections are quite average though, and as a whole I would not rate this album more than with three stars.
