PRESENT Triskaidekaphobie
Review (Permanent link) by hugues chantraine @ 9:37:13 AM EST, 8/4/2004
SPECIAL COLLABORATION
4%20stars  —  This first album from Present is a real shock . How much more somber can one get. Present is the brainchild of one of the more un-compromising (and sinister) musician ever, Roger Trigaux after leaving this other uncompromising group UNIVERS ZERO. The title means the fear of number 13. As you can see , a cheery start . The first number is the highlight of the album is all about a stroll at the bottom of a canal. This guy should do stand-up comedy , he would make a killing - imagine an audience committing suicide. All jokes apart, the music is astounding but moody . This is not to be put in any ears without serious warnings. Make sure that you get a good listen to this if you are considering acquiring any Present album .

What's minimum wage in CA?  Probably pretty good.  Uniforms and hair police suck though, enjoy the drug tests too. ;)
$8.00 which is pretty high but coupled with inflation, it's really not going to be a difference I don't care about drug tests since it has been months since I've smoked. The two interviews that I had seemed to emphasize that the fact that I go to school is going against me. I only go to class twice a week and they are trippin' over it.

Review by hugues chantraine @ 9:47:10 AM EST, 8/4/2004
PROG REVIEWER
4%20stars  —  If you read my review on their first album , you will know that Trigaux is a regular funny guy and the cover of this second album is out to prove it. As with the first one , he gets the help from Daniel Denis ( of UNIVERS ZERO fame). Actually if you look at the titles , there is some humour to this , however macabre this is. This RIO music is guitar with heavy groovy rythm driven and should please people who are into zheul music but careful ! - this is not zheul . It could also please Gothic fans. Add also another halfstar.

Yeah, I agree with that. Hugues's reviews can be quite interesting to read sometimes.

I need to review more myself, but I simply haven't gotten the highest amount of motivation yet... Embarrassed

Yeah, good point. I am surprised; I knew there were quite a bit of people here that had alot of CDs, but most of those must be older members. I am proud of my collection though. Embarrassed

I am pretty much a full-blown progger for the most part, barring a few prog-related and just plain rock CDs, but it's amazing how much variety there is. I have Zorn, Styx, Mahavishnu, and Marillion, for example. Tongue

I'm actually listening to Electric Light Orchestra right now, which were one of the first bands that I ever loved when I was first discovering my love for music. Smile

There are so many great reviewers on this site... I'm not sure who are my favorites if I had to name, but Hugues does have some really great ones.

It is. Especially since I've always been much more of a math/straight-up logical type of person than a writer any day, I might know exactly how I feel about an album... transferring that into a helpful reference in the form of a review and finding the time to do it is a different story.

I guess so, indeed.

Well, I'm alive, just wasn't here much yesterday, due to being out 80 per cent of the day *shock, absolute scary horror*.
So I only posted about 25 yesterday instead of 80Tongue

I have their entire discography (yes, even Discovery), so I'd consider myself quite a fan. Big%20smile

I absolutely love the albums Out of the Blue, A New World Record, Time, and On the Third Day especially. They have some really fantastic sophisticated pop as well as earlier proggier compositions. I quite like it all, though I'm not in love with every single song they've ever recorded. LOL

I do like "Don't Bring Me Down" though. Embarrassed

My posting goes in extreme spurts. Yesterday I posted quite a bit, but sometimes I'll go a few days or a week without really posting much at all. I don't know why. LOL
