A great one-shot French prog rock band. Hard to believe you can still find great prog released as late as 1979, but there you go. There were a few musicians after 1977 who didn't want to go along with what new trend or fad came along the pike. This album appeared on the Divox International label, and is very hard to come by, as an original. Other groups that come to mind include King Crimson and Artcane and even the 1990s Quebecois band Pangée springs to mind, even if they didn't exist in 1979. This is prog that does not play it safe. Lots of guitar, many of it in that fuzz nature that's similar to Pulsar, with spacy synths and even nice use of Mellotron. Vocals are in French, in that theatrical style, but are not dominant. The music is challenging, and I'm glad to see a group still try this so late in the game (when most groups had fallen by the wayside somewhere between 1975 and 1977). The average Marillion or Spock's Beard fan is certain to come running and screaming for the hills, but for the more adventurous prog fan out there, you can't go wrong! It's totally essential, and one of the best prog albums post-1977 I've heard.
