Album Notes & Community Reviews

This obscure French collaboration marries dense, avant-garde progressive rock with heavily theatrical spoken-word delivery. Drawing subtle influences from the intense, rhythmic Zeuhl movement and traditional chanson, the album operates on the fringes of rock experimentation. It provides a challenging, poetic listening experience steeped in the European art-rock underground.
