Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guided by keyboardist Cyrille Verdeaux, this cosmic journey intertwines classical piano motifs with swirling, extraterrestrial synthesizer soundscapes. The compositions swell into massive, instrumental symphonic rock crescendos that clearly evoke interstellar imagery. Often compared to the contemporary work of Gong, it holds a revered place within the pantheon of French progressive space rock.
