TEMPUS FUGIT

Metabolisme was a French progrock quartet that has its roots in the late Sixties. They attended numerous festivals and shared the bill with French progrock legend Ange. But it lasted until 1977 when they finally released their debut album entitled "Tempus fugit". This album has a running time of hardly 37 minutes but it sounds very warm and melodic. The first composition "Apotre et martyrs" (15 minutes) features twanging guitars, a lush organ sound, senstitive piano work, good French vocals and many vocal harmonies. In general the atmosphere is mellow but at some moments it delivers accellarations with strong organ waves (like Cressida). The other four songs are similar but sound more powerful due to the fiery electric guitar play. THIS IS AN ALBUM TO CHECK OUT FOR ORGAN AFICIONADOS!
