Review by Windhawk
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator
5 stars Unknown band for me until I got this CD - interesting to discover a band with a history closing in on 40 years that way.

Symphonic prog is the name of the game here, mixed with quite a few ballads. High class keyboards dominate many songs, some exquisite percussion work and skilled acoustic guitars are other vital elements to most of the songs here.

Still, the main asset here are the performance of main man and vocalist Christian Decamps - both when singing alone as well as when i duet with female vocalist Caroline Crozat. Decamps is a charismatic vocalist - and quite a stage presence it seems. He adds dramatic flair and theatrical elements to most tunes; especially when Crozat contributes to the songs, when at times the vocals can get close to operatical in style.

Main drawbacks on this release - some plain ballads; where understanding the lyrics may be an important aspect to enjoy them most. And all songs are sung in French, which may not suit everybody.
