专辑简介
An active participant to the current rebirth of French Progressive rock, LORD OF MUSHROOMS visibly found a way to achieve its ambitions. Let’s talk about four incredible musicians and their irreproachable singer. Also, let’s say that being a disciple of Frédéric L’EPEE (SHYLOCK and PHILHARMONIE) definitely gave guitarist Laurent JAMES a great training ! The excellent drummer Volodia BRICE seems quite unable to stick to basic or simplistic rhythms, and among others, participated to the fifth and last album of PHILHARMONIE, "Le Dernier Mot", issued in 1999. It goes without saying that the keyboardist and bass players are also as talented as the other musicians mentioned above ! At first a line-up from the Nice area (In Southern France) specialised in cover version, this quintet started by playing SPOCK’S BEARD, GENESIS, RUSH, MARILLION and DREAM THEATER, before creating its own music. All those references are then unconsciously present in its music at different leve! ls. Recorded in the year 2002, the eponymous album goes far beyond the usual comment for this kind of first works: ? First promising album, to confirm with the second one ?, thanks to the maturity of those experienced players and to their innate sense of melody. Their approach is finally quite American: the tracks are both complex and catchy, the melodies always prove at the same time pleasant and ambitious, and they go without problem from a jazzy sequence to more nervous parts, the vocals are clear and the guitar riffs are quite efficient, the production is perfect… All those ingredients were at the roots of IZZ or ECHOLYN’s success those last years, and could have done the same with the not so well-known ANIMATOR. In a nutshell, don’t go any further: this first album is already a reference !
