LE CIMETIÈRE DES ARLEQUINS

"Le Cimetière Des Arlequins" was the second album released by France's ANGE and represents a wonderful piece of Franco prog rock. Arguably ANGE's most complete album, Le Cimetière houses all the Ange characteristics... mainly Christian Decamps theatrical singing-talking style and Francis Decamps organ and mellotron work. ANGE create a delicate and rich soundscape with some of their greatest progressive moments captures on this album. Musically ANGE reflect the sonic stylistics of early KING CRIMSON to the Genesis matermarked mellotron runs to the folk symphonia of Harmonium. "Bivouac - 1ère partie" is my personal favourite track and represents why I love this band. Fans of ANGE and French prog will need to get a hold of this album for sure... a masterpiece.
