Many of the musical nuances that made the music of these bands so beguiling and rewarding, are contained in this album's rich compositions. This is an album that is littered with stylistic references to bands such as Hatfield and The North, Gilgamesh, and Seven-era Soft Machine.

White Willow and Opium Cartel guitarist Jacob Holm Lupo contributes to La Suspension Ethéréenne and Judith Coupeuse de Tête, on which track Minimum Vital's Thierry Payssan also provides Sigma solos and Mellotron. Archimede De Martin provides impressive violin parts in La Suspension Ethéréenne, Pas A Pas and Escamotage. The album also features three notable guests. To my amazement, I experienced a similar feeling of excitement and bewitchment when listening to the 2015 debut album of French duo Alco Frisbass.Īlco Frisbass is made up of Fabrice Chfab Chouette, who provides keys, guitars, voice, percussions and whistles, and Patrick Paskinel Dufour on Fender Rhodes, keys and drum programming. I was already a huge fan of their brand of Canterbury prog, and watching their live interpretation of many of the tunes from Of Queues and Cures was truly compelling. Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to witness National Health on stage as a support band to UK. The programme is also quite lengthy (just under nine hours) so I hope you can dip in and out and enjoy the music at sometime.La Suspension Ethéréenne (10:34), Pas A Pas (6:42), Induction Magnétique (9:08), La Danse Du Pantin (7:43), Escamotage (12:17), Judith Coupeuse de Tête (9:08) with eight of the artists coming from that country with the other three coming from the U.K. More by accident than design, the programme has a marked slant towards bands from the U.S.A. * “The 3rd Planetary Chronicles” by Yuka & Chronoship - Review at * “Quest For The Stones” by Yak - Review at Progplanet * “The Water Games” by Purposeful Porpoise - Review at Progplanet * “Perfect Beings II” by Perfect Beings - Review at Progarchives * "Travelog” by Kinetic Element - Review at Progradar * “Radio Silence” by Exovex - Review at Danger Dog * “I Heard You Listening” by Echolyn - Review at The Progressive Aspect * “In Vaults” by District 97 - Review at * “Skyline” by Barock Project - Review at Background Magazine * “Silent Sentinel” by Advent - Review at Progarchives 1” by 3rdegree - Review at Sea of Tranquility It has been a bit since our last show and so we have eleven albums to preview (it could have been more).
