3 stars ANGE, the most famous band to have remained unknown in the French music scene, the most controversial of the last 50 years. The quintessence of progressive rock at the start with an A'dieu in 1996, a rebirth and 24 albums to the counter today before this EP to wait for the after ANGE.

'Hadar Mumbai Lhassa' and the instrumental that served as an intro for the last tour 'Cunégonde Tour': crystalline air of the xylophone on the solemn climb; 7 minutes of atmospheric-ambient prog variation to settle down, wait for Christian's last concert; in short for all those who were able to attend, it is the opportunity to awaken your memory and vibrate already. 'The tears of the Dalai Lama' with the Tibetan trumpets, the fat, calm sound, Tristan takes the voice first; the father and son duo that should have been exploited well before I think to make a little more room for him ... to the son, but it is only my opinion that I share, in short bewitching with the ear that is already getting used to this smooth transition. Well the symphonic finale as usual.

'Leaving the pack' with this ethereal Wilsonian riff and Tristan on vocals since that is the goal; the most this solo halfway through giving a more modern vision of the sound to come, that of the after? Hassan since it is indeed him I am talking about, strikes swirling notes making the sauce rise; the alkaline piano then the keyboard fit into this new, nervous, shivering progressive space. Avant-garde ANGE. 'Cunégonde' with Christian on strange vocals, will it be on the album? Words worthy of him, a bewitching ballad, a way of putting his mark on the future album; ambient break with his phrasing voice, bawdy with an angelic sauce. Will they be able to save today's increasingly bland music world? The untrained audience applauds before the apocalyptic end with the pharaonic, powerful, redundant crescendo. An intense instrumental and progressive moment showing that it is still possible in 2025. 'Pace nobilis' delicate ballad, crystalline keyboard accompanying tristan and his sensitive voice; a crescendo that gives pride of place to the air above all, a captivating, heady chorus, a little latency and the mantranic vocal-synth finale that rises, rises, modern. (3.5)
