Album Notes & Community Reviews
Driven by the virtuosic drumming and idiosyncratic vision of Jacques Thollot, 'Cinq Hops' is a dizzying journey through avant-garde composition. The record utilizes aggressive brass, restless synthesizer lines, and relentless rhythmic shifts, heavily echoing the hallmarks of the Zeuhl movement. It confirms Thollot's reputation as one of the most enigmatic and inventive percussionists in the European underground.
