NEIGE EN DÉCEMBRE

"Snow in December Part1" rural, Oldfieldian intro, monolithic melodic tune for a slow rise, ideal for an 80s sound; yes but 40 years have passed; 5 minutes and a sudden airy break on a new-age sound from APSARAS, followed by the induction with Eric's fruity guitar solo, on a Rothery from MARILLION; crystalline, intense synth, its own and singular for the second part; afterward it's a jump to reminiscences about PENDRAGON, a little further on the famous bells of Mike OFDFIELD in the window; marshmallow finale with a vintage keyboard from the time when progressive rock still had all its letters of nobility; Well we can hear the cows returning to the stable with their own bells, let's see the other side of the record.

"Snow in December Part2" oh the nervous guitar, it changes completely; paf direct electric break, synthetic like on the ARAGON 'Mouse'; spatial ambiance before a majestic symphonic development; paf floydian break suddenly then a spleen atmosphere with a beautiful Mellotron on a synthetic base; a jazz-rock side there, suave and repetitive, bang break on PENDRAGON, we revise our scales again; archaic acoustic guitar hop assisted by an enchanting flute; say 'Jingle Bells' now, wind, a plane up there, footsteps in the snow, the bell tower of Quarré-les- Tombes, yes we dream of what we can, ah Mike who appears at the bend of the path with its bells; long descent asking questions there is still time; a last warm soul-jazzy-folk keyboard break for the radio-edit, from the time when we could listen to and welcome beautiful music.
