MOSAÏQUE

1. A New World so sit back in your chair; Eric's keyboards rise while Cyril vacillates between Yves' low notes and Gauthier's strikes; Maïko launches into the dance on a heavy riff which avoids boredom, here it hits French neo prog; it's unique, caught between the metronomic keyboard and the destructive riff 2. The XI Commandment and it continues with this symphonic-hard sound mixed with cotton balls thrown from Maïko's mouth; this voice in French is the most, navigating between the notes of the musicians, a voice that catches on easily; yes today we could think cutesy or easy to access... I take you back to the time... 30 years is more than a straw, short captivating title with its dose of kitsch 3. The Rain Child and this intro, yes there will be intros each time; yes they will be beautiful, soaring, filled with feeling, emotion; yes 2 minutes of dreaming before hearing Maïko; this basic synth that spins, this ballroom voice in the good sense of the word with a story that we listen to discreetly, yes the air, the sound have that little extra that will capsize you; drum roll break and Cyril the big guy who releases an invasive solo; in the middle of these ruins the child... ah I listen to these words not only with MANSET, ANGE and LAZULI; a symphonic moment this interlude and the keyboard which leans towards that of MARILLION, what a pleasure, come on Cyril give us that again; ending too brutal 4. Sizygy yes for those who follow the alignment of planets, for others the energetic title which allows the sound ARRAKEEN to be shorter; a voice, a text and musicians who start on a typically local pop-rock base

5. Mosaic with this sampled pan flute, the snare drum which starts, the piano bringing Maïko who belches here, who now frolics to a nursery rhyme, who puts his voice and takes us on a journey; ah Cyrille comes on stage, he will go far with what comes out of his guitar; the most progressive title with a symphonic finale, a bit of symphonic RAINBOW; the keyboard for another break, a dark atmosphere which prolongs the spell caused by this album which I came across by chance 6. Celebration ah yes the waves, for one of the most beautiful interludes, yes IRIS of course for those who will dive into it afterwards, or how to make an instrumental interlude a candy for a big heart... ah this guitar is just sublime 7. White Moon Dreamer marshmallow synth intro before Maïko's escapade with the Anglicans, yes for those who have difficulty with our beautiful language, take a listen to this 100% English title; I realize that the solo is heavier while the vocals are softer, yes; more orchestration too or the voice slips even more into the instruments; solemn piano finale 8. Rages for the best for the end, this intro, this crystalline keyboard, this drums highlighted, this guitar which starts on MALSTEEN, the bass which swells the air, Maïko who plays his voice, melancholy spleen air in so and the climb... this chorus that hooks you, that's it you start singing... the walls... Eric prides himself on a fresh solo... we don't look back... in short one of the rare French groups who tried neo; the synth comes back forward for this Marillionian break, a captivating voice that leaves, the solemn piano and then it rises and Maïko capsizes us, ah no it's Cyrille in short, both of them; this solo which lasts, which lasts, this riff behind it, one of the great moments of ARRAKEEN without a doubt; the finale which descends gently, to help us better understand the great moment we had.
