专辑简介
XII ALFONSO is getting to be one of the "greatest" bands of international Progressive rock, thanks to his first album issued in 1996 and called "The Lost Frontier". This concept is about Hadrian's Wall, in Scotland, which separated the civilized world from the barbarian countries during the Roman times. Led by Philippe CLAERHOUT, the musicians from Bordeaux have built a superb work with long instrumental passages, some female vocals, and a Celtic-influenced atmosphere sometimes reminding of Mike OLDFIELD. Mickey SIMMONDS, the then-current CAMEL keyboards player, helps with his wonderful symphonic sounds while guitarist Dan Ar BRAS brings a noticeable Celtic touch of good taste. A remarkable work ! Their following release was "Odyssées", in a similar style as that of the previous album, but with a little more colourful majestic music. Dan AR BRAS & Mickey SIMMONDS are still invited here, accompanied among others by singer Antoine TOME and the PAYSSAN brothers (The complete VITAL DUO). "Claude MONET - Volume Un, 1883-1889" (2002) is the first part of an ambitious three-CD series dedicated to the famous French painter. The object is superb, presented in a cardboard cover, with a wonderfully illustrated 52-page bilingual book. A lot of guest were invited (A good habit !), including guitar player Ian BAIRNSON (Alan PARSONS PROJECT) and female singer BEVINDA. Sounding delightfully old, this music wants to evoke carefree and times of countryside living. Mostly instrumental, this album goes into original territories, when four French songs from the beginning of the Twentieth Century are reinterpreted by the XII ALFONSO trademark. The shadow of the mysterious French female singer BARBARA is always present on this album which could well become a landmark…
