New album of Sensitive To Light (ex Saens

Hello !

I just wanted to tell you that the album "Almost Human" of the band Sensitive To Light has been officially released yesterday, on Cyclops Records.

Since I was the main composer of Saens, the music is in the same vein, but is now fronted by a scottish female vocalist : Jenny Lewis.

Please visit us and tell us what you think about it !

    Hi Uroboros !

Now the album is out, and yes !... the vocals are much appreciated by the reviewers !

There's an interesting review here :

(you can listen to samples while reading the review. COOoool ! )

In Europe, you can get the album by justforkick.de or rockserwis.pl.
In the US, I found it on Synphonic and on Kinesis website... here is what they say about it on Kinesiscd.com :

Sensitive to Light is the new band formed by guitarist/keyboardist/composer Vynce Leff of the French progressive band Saens. The most obvious difference between the two bands is that Sensitive to Light is fronted by Scottish female vocalist Jenny Lewis, who possesses a beautiful voice. Coming from a folk/Celtic background, her clear voice adds purity to the overall sound. Almost Human (2006, 66-minutes) is a concept piece with rich instrumentation including Mellotron and a guest saxophonist playing melodically (think Supertramp). The album is a bit more melodic and accessible than Saens’ work, but it’s still very progressive and symphonic, and doesn’t skimp on instrumental content. One might say it bears the same relationship to Saens as Fabio Zuffanti’s Aries bears to his other bands (Finisterre, La Maschera di Cera). Perhaps think of Sensitive to Light as the French Magenta but less Yes-influenced, with a more original style.

Sooo, spread the word !


It'll probably be reviewed here soon !

THANKS A LOT !

Hey Erik !

I am STL guitarist. I used to be a classical guitar player, which is not exactly flamenco guitar... but my two favorite pieces at that time were Recuerdos de la Alhambra by F. Tarrega, and Asturias by I. Albeniz, which are definitely based on spanish traditional music (and, by the way, quite difficult to play ;) ).

So I always try to put some classical/spanish stuff in the music I write... Anyway, I don't like too much the usual guitar licks you can hear everywhere in pop/rock music, based on the pentatonic/blues scale. So, using some spanish colors (and also celtic ones - just like the end of "Something happened" with bagpipes on a bolero rhythm) is a good way to sound "different" .

I'm happy that you liked it :)

Ah yes, that's right !

It's another french prog rock band, so of course we know them and the other band "Lac Placide". We played at the same concert in Paris last year...

Well, if you also want an interview with us, we are ready for your questions !!!

Wow, you'll make the trip to Paris ? That's grrrrreat !!!

See you there, then !

Don't mind about Dieter his review, it's just one bad review, if it's followed by a serie of bad reviews, then you have a problem (so do I ) ! But I have already read many good reviews about your wonderful album Almost Human on other progrock sites, in fact Dieter is the first to write negative about you but that is his right.

Hey, here is another british reviewer who likes Jenny's voice  :
