Album Notes & Community Reviews

A thrilling, high-speed journey through cosmic synthesizers, 'Stratos Airlines' is a deeply underappreciated masterpiece of French electronic rock. The project combines frantic, jazz-inflected drum patterns with highly melodic, rapidly sequenced analog keyboards, evoking the aerodynamic themes of its title. The album serves as an essential, high-energy precursor to the European spacesynth genre.
