Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut release from the theatrical progressive rock icons established a uniquely French interpretation of symphonic music, distinct from their British contemporaries. Driven by Christian D茅camps' dramatic, heavily accented vocal delivery and swirling organ tones, the songs delve into dark medieval imagery and surreal social satire. It laid the crucial groundwork for the band's impending domination of the 1970s European prog scene.
