Wow, what a difference a year makes. On their second release, L'Araignee Mal, Atoll had managed to carve out a distinguished niche in the crowded French prog scene of the 70s, at times sounding like a completely different band than on their debut. The overt Yes-isms of Musiciens-Magiciens have largely been done away with. The fey Anderson impersonation and cloying symphonic clichés are replaced with a confident, biting instrumental edge, with an almost fusion tinge at times, and assertive, dramatic vocals. That's not to say this isn't a symphonic prog album, it certainly is, and in the best sense of the word. On this platter, Atoll move into the darker realms that would later be explored by the likes of Pulsar, yet with a much greater sense of urgency.
All of the pieces display an obvious confidence and ability on the part of the band to stretch out instrumentally, and every musicians fits into their respective slot with extraordinary aplomb. Particularly impressive this time around is the strident, pulsing rhythm section, which navigates the band through numerous time changes and main melodic themes, interacting powerfully with the now blazing guitar solos and rippling synthesizer melodies. The dynamic ranges of the individual pieces are far more effective, as in the title track, where pastoral mellotron flute-patches back airy guitar melodies, before building into surging, vocal-led climax with cascading moog melodies. More often, the peaks of the respective tracks are characterized by fantastic, inspired solos, on both keyboards and guitar, trading off with catchy melodic motifs which fly by at such a pronounced pace that it's difficult to keep track of them. The finale of "Le Cimetiere de Plastique" almost comes off like a better version of what the first album attempting, as soaring, melodic keyboard themes continuously develop, while emphasis from rumbling bass lines and tasteful guitar commentary provides maximum emotional effect. Each and every track on L'Araignee Mal is uniformly excellent, and it is easily among the finest French symphonic prog albums. - Greg Northrup [December 2002] (wombatcombat.org)
