4 stars The first live integrating all the titles of 'Flower Torania' and 'Truewaves' in a musical tangle for a real opera-video game show with psychedelic-progressive overtones.

"PLAY" with the introduction in a musical video world, announcing. "Untenable" for the synth, the duo vocals and the slap drums, the nervous electrified riff and the Hammond, between ARENA and THRESHOLD. "Straight Up from Underneath" fresh, danceable, energetic modern prog; Hayley reveals the extent of her voice in the festive hi-hat break with Olivier who is having fun at the piano bar; this opening moment of hot cabaret nights. The finale looks at the crazy works of QUEEN. "Wings Inside" the piano of Amicalement vôtre, the Hayley/Joe duo sprinkled with crystalline piano; this freshness of the sound with the jerky and the softness; cinematic outro introducing "Gold and Power" with spatial synths, interlude winking at 'Flash'.

"Amused" solemn piano interlude and Hayley for the moment emotion; "Space Heater" continues; "Inner City: Shorroma Pt 1" with the whiff of AYREON, the captivating vocal of the ode of the 1002 nights; the air is searching, the metronomic pad, the languorous organ, bursting and so progressive with a furious Olivier on his organ; "Suburbs Attack ~" and Jimmy's solo like in the good old days as an interlude before "Inner City: Shorroma Pt 2" coming back to play us a PINK FLOYD tune before the grandiloquent finale: end.

"Living Behind" attacks like 'Amused', "Ma Petite Histoire" with Heather as a guest; "Flower Torania" follows for the vocal duo, bucolic delicacy on the piano. "Erwin's Opera" follows these operetta drawers; emotion on a crescendo of divine voices then a convoluted break à la Mr BUNGLE, a zest of BIGELF with the final deluge and the hard rock voice. "Knife's Edge" melodic solo variation bringing these titles into a varied progressive piece; clear cut intended or not to immerse oneself. "Above the Wheels" and the second opening of the concert, the perfect intro with Gabriel for an energetic rock. "Ride Along" starts again on the melting title, Olivier's keyboard and Hayley as a sparkling angel, killer melody. "X-Ray" Joe's return for the title that made me follow them; softness and tonicity, vocal duet that flows naturally, Joe inimitable. The heavy machine gun break with its soft keyboard, the other coming from a Japanese video game soundtrack; it's a blast with Hayley. "Jupiter" from 'Flower' sets the place on fire with this heavy metal prog in which the instrumental quality generates turmoil. A drink and "Close" returns to basics, piano arpeggio with Hayley in dramatic effect before the instrumental development.

"I Hear them Whistling" with a KARNATAKA atmosphere, MOSTLY AUTUMN, IONA, a whiff of AYREON for the medieval flute playing; a quality, a mistake to start on a burst prog space. "Lonely Diamond" interlude recalling the imprint of PINK FLOYD, Marc rewarding us with a touching solo, a diamond. "Interstellar List" with the same advantage, mixing two different tempos in the same title. "OFF" for goodbye. Originelly on ProfilProg.
