Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating within the vibrant French progressive rock revival of the early 90s, this quartet delivered a deeply theatrical, synth-heavy concept album based heavily on Mozart and Moli猫re. 'Don Giovanni' relies heavily on the aggressive, complex organ and synthesizer work of founding member Guillaume de la Pinta, heavily referencing the classic 1970s sound of Genesis and ELP. The release is widely appreciated as a high point of modern French symphonic prog.
