3 stars DAYS BETWEEN STATIONS 4th album based on the original soundtrack of the film, a documentary on the artist BOURDIER. All the instrumental pieces are therefore excerpts from the original soundtrack planned starting with melancholic cinematic art-rock, allowing you to navigate ethereal, ambient and saving landscapes, Durga McBROOM as a guest vocal on the last title.

"Waltz for the Dead" begins in the style of Am'lie POULAIN, a memory of Yann and his magical accordion, fresh, swirling, freshly bucolic and French at heart. "Proof of Life" follows, a languid air with an Asian atmosphere on an electronic pad. "Seeds" pastoral symphony entrance, chamber music with its solemn, haughty, invasive post-rock air. "Unearth" dark piano, vibration of the notes before the start of the classical melody declining the ambient air in a crystalline way of a sidereal beauty. "Intermission" as its name suggests on a jerky, vibrating electronic moment. "Stone Faces" introspective moment with the guitar playing its notes while the synth rounds them off for the musical moment in the style of CARPENTER, DAFT PUNK, disconcerting.

"Paradigm Lost" follows, slow minimalist new age progression, invasive synthetic sound, hypnotic with the electronic pad and the suave melody, marshmallow, creamy candy; memory memory of the works of Wally BADAROU. A guitar solo, the first of the album, comes to brighten up, adding languor, dynamism and energy. The track of the album for its creativity. "Ascend" crystalline piano arpeggio, classico-romantic-melancholic air to use for meditation, ideal in the background of a documentary, it's good timing. "Being" with the ethereal voice of Durga on a slightly pompous air, Scott's metronomic drums helping him in this rhythmic, catchy piece. A title to reflect on the work of BOURDIER which this column will make you want to research. The guitar solo recalls Sepand's delicate touch before the return of the basic piano illuminating the title.
