ALMANACH

More good stuff from Yacoub and DeCourson as they keep on "pillaging" the french folklore to bring out the best and not-so-well known songs that come from the past centuries . I have neard people make a comparison to the early Gryphon , but I strongly disagree as Gryphon made pre-renaissance or medieval music and Malicorne's music comes from much later in Human Musical History . Also that Gryphon will eventually turn to rock as Malicorne will stay true to themselves. Ecolier Assassin and Tristes Noces are of interest for progheads. Note that some of the tracks on this album have been released on other studio albums , making this a rather strange mix of new and old numbers. This one and Quintessence cannot be considered as best of .
