An album from the French mood-masters who created the band NIL, the leadership of the brothers MAURIN (one of
which has by this album left the project) have given way to that of Sebastien FILLION (with the help of brother/cellist
Arnaud) to produce this enigmatic collection of hard-to-describe songs. The music is modern, perhaps "ahead of its
time" in its odd, sometimes ethereal, sometimes jazzy sounds and passages. It can thus be said with some confidence
that this is truly progressive rock music as its songs take the listener to places and in directions that you have likely
never travelled before. While listening through this album I find myself reminded at times of DEAD CAN DANCE,
FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM, AKT, STING, LUNATIC SOUL, STEVE JANSEN and, of course, NIL.Favorite songs: 1. "Ex-Slaves" (12:51) (10/10); 3. "La lumière" (9:12) (10/10); 5. "Danse des airs" (6:25) (9/10); 7. "Revoir" (7:55) (9/10); 9. "Ces rêves-là" (4:24) (8/10); 8. "01" (8:15) (8/10), and; 6. "Au ciel" (7:12) (8/10). 4.5 stars. A refreshingly original musical journey.
