NOUVEAUX MONDES

Now this is a fine little recording my friends... CAFEINE's "Nouveaux Mondes" is a superbly well crafted album blending an original musical prowess with a brilliant technical expressionism. Songs are well conceived with loads of dynamic mood and tempo changes and are delivered with great emotion. Although their music is quite sophisticated and electrically charged, they maintain a high degree of control never sounding "over the top". Instrumentally speaking this 4 member band are simply killer with great guitar, keyboard, bass and drum interplay. Hard to peg these guys down as their music draws from so many different influences, but perhaps one could draw parallels to ANGE, LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT, VISIBLE WIND and KING CRIMSON all wrapped into one. CAFEINE's music is meaty with some grand time signature changes and musical phrasing.
