ROYAUME DE SIAM

MANSET or how to achieve excellence far from the tumultuous world! 1 Kingdom Of Siam or the perfect title; my first listen, violins as required, dynamic drums, the soft guitar that comes from behind, the magnificent sithare that squirts and the air from there, just... perfect, the voice, his voice in reverberation, something of his own 2 Balanced the tune that hooks you from the start, the strident guitar, the redundant chorus, well remixed, yes the first version is more and more has-been and you have to listen to Manset the goldsmith who likes to rework his compositions; in short, do not swing to see the difference; what in the ditch more; the monotone tone is amplified by trumpets, yes the kind of instrument that repulses me but which has the opposite effect, ah if I could understand everything; I whisper his texts, I invest them, I incorporate them 3 The Sea Has Not Ceased to Descend Well I'll be quick, I love 3 titles more than anything including this one; why I don't know, probably an overdose at the time; today what is left apart from this bewitching voice, these texts... always the same one wanting to be right, this synth just neither too soft nor too present; in short a mantra this title that I can repeat in my head to fall asleep, that's how; captivating tune despite the very short duration of the pieces; what prog blood could flow in short titles too, but yes my brave sir, ah how I would like this expression to rub off on you 4 When Tu Portes guitar arpeggio in coulis on a flight of melancholic violins or how to fly away to the lands of Siam; a metronomic bass as a base and the journey again

5 Snow Is White .... the 3rd title is this one; crystalline piano, solemn air, we wait for the rest...drums hop here we go, from looking at each other, from not understanding...time is running out for me to tell you about it; ah this bass which made the LEDs of my first channel vibrate, ah this text, ah this text hey the snow is white ah no I was in a dream; 6 No More Belief or the eternal question about knowledge and youth leads far, far; hop serious sax and the drift, the progressive instrumental variation at donf, the moment when you know that you are elsewhere whatever happens; a long finale with the sensation of listening to the men who connect men ad by Phil COLLINS 7 The Day You Want to Leave with another kingdom-stamped intro, with tuned piano, guitar, drums and violin; the orchestral like a diamond in the rough, the melody with the crystalline piano note and... the birds fallen from the nest; when it is beautiful there is nothing more to write, the sound engraved in your memory doing the rest; but one day you will have to remember if you have forgotten; the MANSET sound is the invitation to stroll, stroll, walk along your brain and to actually compose osmosis to release a concept album without realizing it 8 Alone And Bald ooh that one is dated; piano and dark cello on a heady tune, basic but magnified by these captivating lyrics; the racing piano makes you prick your ears and prepares you for this piano-drum madness in a furious crescendo; that's it, it's gone, I'll leave you; the always tangy guitar adds a background to move you a little more if that's still possible, MANSET that's it!

Red Coat, The Sunda Islands, The Bridge, Your Happy Soul and The Mask on the Wall were added on a remix CD, but I'm telling you about the origin, just to keep the good memories of this cult album, a or my sister was surprised one Sunday before leaving for her midwifery studies to see me listening to her, such is life.
