LE FANTASTIQUE ENVOL DE DIETER BÖHM

'Le fantastique envol de Dieter Böhm' (The fantastic flight of Dieter Böhm) is the 9th studio album by Lazuli from France. If I had to describe this work in just one word it would be 'refreshing'.

Everything on this record seems flawless. The vocals by Dominique are mesmerizing, the musicianship is nothing short of amazing, very emotive. The track by track analysis would take A LOT of time, especially considering how many truly beautiful moments and intertwined melodies are here. My personal favourites are 'Acte IV: L'homme volant' (fabulous feel, killer passages), 'Epilogue: Dans les mains de Dieter' (love that spacey intro and the melodic flow), 'Acte I: Les chansons sont des bouteilles à la mer' (outstanding leode solo), however each song here is very enjoyable. I am 90 % positive that you can find something new with each listening. Retrospectively I think that production could have been done better but it is just a nitpick.

This came out in 2020 and here I am 3 years later totally fascinated by this masterpiece. Definitely a top 5 album in that year. Highly recommended.
