WEATHER SYSTEMS

1. Untouchable Part 1 ... with the catchy tune, the slow and long melancholy melody, the one where Lee is at his best; the tune passes, from ANATHEMA 3rd version, almost not very expressive compared to their albums of yesteryear; but a title that you must have heard in concert, the Altman is not far away with this musical prog trance, the final dark violin leaves the door ajar for 2. Untouchable Part 2 and its piano arpeggio with the Lee-Vincent duo for the logical continuation of this untouchable title... yes I couldn't find better, a slow lament which navigates between spleen and rediscovered happiness, all on a crescendo invasive, hypnotic and anathemaesque; ah that drum roll, ah those strings, ahhhhh 3. The Gathering Of The Clouds a storm in the distance, a gloomy, beautiful arpeggio, a piano tone, Vincent continuing in the lament, yes it's beautiful and it's repeated somewhere, even with these choirs and this voice in redundancy and this rise, well it's the group's leg to bring 4. Lightning Song with its variation of strings, yes the best thing about this album is to have incorporated this chamber orchestra that we saw before; lack of ideas, imposed will, here it is Lee who continues to utter his sensual voice; a title in the continuation which can be drunk in one go, on an octave more or less, but with a progressive lack without a doubt; good scalable maybe anyway 5. Sunlight gives space to Vincent again, classical orchestration, wind strings, aerial choirs, ethereal as you want; well this rise is more marked on Daniel's guitar, the air is more desperate, the tension more palpable, as if the group had fallen into a vat of Cadbury; almost distressing this title... to suddenly find yourself completely dark, while the aim of the title is to enlighten us

6. The Storm Before The Calm...the title says it all; although... the title which experiments, which adds electro dub sound to give a more modern, less harsh meaning, although; we start with a dark wave prog sound à la reverberant JOY DIVISION, a zest of KILLING JOKE and NEW ORDER faded into dark gray; halfway through the wind is heard, the sounds vibrate, no longer hold their chords, yes there is prog slag in there; the break is on the verge of a new title but this archaic guitar note is indeed part of the same title, in the vein... easy I know, but hey in the vein of a POPOL VUH from the time... of latency before a re-departure, one of those symphonic, classical, orgasmic ones where sidereal time seems to stop and offer you the ultimate compendium of sublime music; yes there are times when you have to accept and understand this principle 7. The Beginning And The End ... it feels like the end all the same; primary arpeggio of the monolithic piano, of the clear metronomic drums for yet another rise, the least of the album is to feel the sound stuck in the same chords; the climb is nevertheless intense, Vincent on the verge of screaming, he who has been criticized for lacking lyrical charisma; his brother's guitar is as Gilmourian as can be, a pure pleasure, the piano is still there, this crescendo is just perfect 8. The Lost Child with original whispers, those near the Tree of Life, yes yes; The London Session Orchestra is featured here on this ephemeral, serious track; one more variation, yes I had trouble at the start, everything mixed together, everything was the same, everything lacked expressive explosion while the plot itself is enough to keep us in a sad atmosphere; ah this orchestra which comes to transcend the sound, anathemian 9. Internal Landscapes with Joe Geraci coming to narrate... before the vocal escape of Vincent launching one of his last laments... with a final melancholic sound of great beauty; the album without concession on a series of titles which tangle, which overlap, which emulsify and Joe which completes this singular album.
