CONFLICTS

"I Will Follow." Entrance to Pink Floyd just for 3 notes which have gone around the world, slow and airy rhythm, a few notes also which take me back to the last Coma Rossi, a little OMD or Ultravox in the synth, crystal clear guitar chiseled, solemn air to capture the sound and the reminiscences, good as an intro. "Downfall" is the first of the pieces of more than 10 minutes for a more nervous title, depressive prog metal on one side, ambient on the other and melodic on the 3rd side! Title in two parts with chorus-verse then more symphonic- cold derivation; expressive guitar for a solo, two then three in a row all uphill, in short a 2020 prog monument which doesn't look like much. "Politics" with a start from Vangelis for the vocals, then "The Wall", just the intro since it starts with some good supercharged alternative rock; a frantic pop rhythm, a prog drawer with dark then lit synth, good but without much progressive development. For now 3 songs, 3 different atmospheres!

The 2nd side begins with "The Conflict (part 1)" which melts from the first notes: everything is there, well I'm starting to speak Padawan there, in short the ambient, the sound effects, everything to pleasantly panic us ; well- established atmospheres, rises, new wave pop climates, a voice à la Brian Ferry, the atmosphere passes over a nervous metal riff, oriental sound, progressive drift in the term, percussions which get involved, the solo of enjoyable guitar; halfway through you enter "The Wall", you close your eyes, a few moments later, it's Borsalino who arrives, it rises then you will dream of "Kashmir", it hits the drums, it scratches on the strings, immensely accurate and above all innovative. "Time" concludes with a very gentle title, a ballad bordering on spleen, a melancholy but fresh atmospheric line, a voice like Nicolas Dewez from Light Damage or Midge Ure which reminds us that new wave is always a breeding ground for progressive sounds; a piece that rises slowly to better recover, a well-placed title which provides a moment of serenity, of appeasement until the end with these numbers still thrown.(4.5)
