4 stars ANGE and a standard album which has the merit of not having its 5 stars, that's astonishing, but that's how it is! 1. Ces Gens‐Là .... for the only title or one of the few where I love the cover; the title with the bass too serious... for a title too serious, do you think it's still BREL that they cover; so yes without that would they have exploded? in any case we already arrive at the solo, yes that of Jean-Michel who injected me without my knowledge with the prog blood of which I speak; so yes sir this future senile old man, this future hero of our musical planet, this great gentleman... Jacques and Christian one after the other, this title remains to this day one of my standard prog titles for the delirium of this solo, which Hassan also performs with mastery from now on; there I don't think I forgot anything, ah if listening when entering the bathroom with the fireplace station, the white piece of furniture on which I placed the station, that.... it's priceless this memory 2 Today is La Fête Chez L'apprenti Sorcier for the bucolic title which is well dated, which should not be performed live... and yet, and yet, the madness is still there with this progressive wandering, with this hard riff, with this violence of words coming from Christian's mouth... today is the party!!! Yes ANGEL is timeless, yes 3 Bivouac Part 1 damn it, but the sound has aged badly!! So yes in 88 and 2013 you probably jumped on the remixes, yes but the original sound is that of 73 otherwise what's the point of diving back into our, into your memories? Well I want to fly and explore the atmosphere, possessed you were my dear Christian, but what did that make us dream of, how magical is that still; ah this organ Francis that you handled it well, as well as the great master Anglican organists, ah this station wagon still looks like a musical saw, the one that cuts wood as winter approaches, a station wagon full of moments of rambling, prog, yes sir in France the standard prog is indeed ANGEL whatever people say; Jean-Michel to assist him and 4 The Lesbian Spy arrives like a hair in the soup, acoustic guitar which rings out a few notes for you, voices of young castrati in full orgasmic sexual boiling; in short lesbian ah ahahahah; Daniel makes us vibrate... on the verge of voodoo Satanism this title, ah the note... 5 Bivouac Final yes the end in furious madness, the prog triptych which takes you by surprise, organ effects with the rise of the drums, yes whether you like it or not, this piece represents the experiments of the early 70s, a sound apart; more than 11 minutes of progressive madness for a space combining Nirvana and compassion for this timeless sound; the organ like a plane before crashing ends this erotic frolic

6 From Time to Time side B you changed the disc, you turned over the K7... a book opening title, a text, yes I am possessed I sing at the same time, I who do not like the texts; from time to time I said they are not going to castrate me, still punish me; a verse between break and contemplative moment, Christian with his voice behind, Jean-Michel yes remembering his solos which also gave the touch of the ANGE sound; finale which goes back in time with the organ, simple but effective... yes, that too anchored in my memory of the time... when we took the time 7 La Route Aux Cyprès on an acoustic guitar base and an angelic text, ah you believe sir; yes, some people won't like it, but hey 'Horizons' all the same! A title that passes like ice cream, quickly before it melts. 8 Le Cimetière Des Arlequins for... for the piece! if there were only one left, if we had to choose, if, if; bass yes, Christian yes, that's it we're in alligator, you see here we go; the priest with his organ at hand; in short, a title that cannot be criticized, a standard value is the perfect thing; the air, the sound, the texts ah these cheese organs how many times I repeated this phrase, how many times I laughed at the stunned face of the person in front of me, in short harlequin; halfway through and the organ starts up, ah Christian launching into this finale, ah this speed programmed to sweep away an ounce of doubt about angelic madness; the orgasmic rise followed by a musical reversal with the Valkyrie in the distance, the drum roll ah yes Gérard you hit well too; come on let's finish with... with, with, with yes this avant-garde outro engraved in your musical unconscious, like a strutting poppy, well I'm starting to get crazy too... Good indestructible!
