LES NOUVEAUX MONDES (2022)

1. Abysses is worth for its energetic intro which demonstrates once again the progressive drift at JPL, setting fire with a Zeppelinian atmosphere, eye the 'Kashmir' 2. Dr Fergusson and the whims of the wind, vol.1: Above the roofs to listen just to decipher the typical JPL or NEMO sound; yes sometimes we cannot transcribe 3. Devil's Dance for the cool interlude which shows the extent of its progressive grip and poses the listener, we begin to sink under the water 4. Storm for the latent piano bringing far; the voice slightly breaking the prog atmosphere, yes the louvetonian sound so intense that the voice hooks me back to the old world and puts me back on earth, 5. In the moon again for this imp guitar solo that I listen to over and over, in which I tell myself that it is one of the most musically beautiful in the progressive world, nothing less. The text holds up but is not sufficiently integrated into the melody in my opinion; maybe too keen to look for an instrument voice 6. Dr Fergusson and the whims of the wind, vol.2: Above the Pyramids for the second piece and the piano arpeggio intro, the magical slide guitar, an air again in the style of 'Kashmir' which comes and goes over the course of the album; it is pompous and effective, an Arabic violin arises and the progressive sensation is at its height; it's objectively fabulous, quite simply with this guitar which bewitches me; the finale reminds me of 'The Knife', well jerked by the drums; in short with JPL, excuse NEMO you have to know how to sink into your albums so as not to stay on the surface

7. Philéas and his 20 minutes on the clock; 4 drawers with the guitar beginning with an air of the gadget inspector, energetic, tortured, enjoyable; 'in these cobbled streets lit with lanterns', yes the voice I get used to there, the phrasing bewitches me, a latency period where the voice goes in harmony; well we left and the Japanese interlude, the gong that sends shivers down your spine, yes we are in the new worlds, the prog spirit is there; the time, the notes make me integrate the vocal into the musical framework; so with prog you have to know how to hold on and persevere; 4'15 and this sublime moment, time has contracted, we almost forget it; the voice returns for a time, with Zeuhlian folk phrasing; the linked title which passes over the enjoyable drifts of the JPL sound, a rock, electric guitar which allows itself to guide on the prog shores, unrelatable, just suggested with this unique guitar which made me prick my ears a long time ago almost 20 years old, a straw in the prog universe; the finale with the birds to go back down, perfect

2 bonuses with 11. Africa for the walk in the middle of the safari with the Mellotron which appears, ah why not put one on before, it's too beautiful, too hot; the guitar seems to talk alone and brings you before the waning day 12. Naval battle and the organ, magnificent, that little extra which could have made a major French group, yes I weigh my words, there is (was) possibility; the guitar goes on a bluesy side, and it merges after the LED ZEPPELIN on a frenzied DEEP PURPEL, the panard; 5 minutes and a dreamlike space break; note this live finale where JPL presents its musicians, stunning; what can I say in conclusion: a Plant voice and we had the French group of the beginning of the millennium, no less.
