LE ROYAUME D'OCÉANÉA

Sometimes you can only stand and wonder. It's a good job that we all have different tastes in music, otherwise there would be no need for sites such as PA at all. However, "Le Royaume d'Oceanea" is grossly over-rated in my opinion. For me, 22 minutes of noodling and doodling while waiting for Abysses to deliver up its intermittent charms is about 21 minutes too many. I ceased to appreciate such formless beauty many years ago: I'm sure it's all very worthy and meaningful, but life's simply too short to engage with this sort of self-indulgence. So stop listening after track 5 and you have a great album. Beyond that, I fear there be dragons.
