Of course, variations like these could only come to their minds :)

After such a declaration of love, I certainly cannot refrain from seeking out the concert in question... :)

Last night, after finding it, I listened to it on repeat. Great album. I won't rate it (also because I would need many more listens), but it’s definitely a work that cannot, under any circumstances, go below a 4.

Hey there Jargon! I could write you a treatise on the Cos, but I really have nothing on these Factor. I took a spin on Myspace, listening to a few tracks, and I must admit that the vocal similarities between Pascale Son and this (very talented) singer immediately catch the ear. Unfortunately, one of my countless limitations is that I can't appreciate the Spanish language, so until I work on this mental bias of mine, I won't be able to vote on a piece like this, even after listening to it in full (which I will do as soon as possible, of course).

Congratulations to Master Supersoul and tributes to that psychotic Kevin Ayers who, from time to time, tends to get on my nerves, a bit like when I try to swallow the Moment without water...

Ah ok, but unfortunately they exist :(

Wow, even "1"? I would reserve that for quite different characters.

I admit that I’m a bit biased against Italian music in general. When I approached this group, I was pleasantly struck by the classical sounds and the complexity of the compositions, but I was also quite annoyed by a constant that was not very happy, common to the records I listened to from these Gatto Marte: the finale. In "Danae", I was horrified by the mangled Italian singing in "Belial," in "Gioco del Mago" I was discouraged by the choruses of the ghost track "Tarumba," and, above all, in the live "Faust," after an excellent show lasting over an hour, I was chilled to the bone by the reprise of "O Sole Mio." So chilled, in fact, that I decided to give up and dedicate myself to other things. I surely did wrong, because musically they are impeccable, but these little details prevent me from fully enjoying their works. Maybe I’ll try "Leolombrico," hoping it doesn’t play nasty tricks on me too. Personal considerations aside, this is still a group that deserves far more visibility than the (practically none) they currently have (and have always had). Thank goodness for Jargon trying to bring some justice back ;)

Thanks Elio ;)

Thank you Macaco, Jargon, Daytona, Cornell & Super! It's always a pleasure :) @Jargon: You're referring to "L'Axe du Fou," right? I'm also of the opinion that it doesn't quite reach "Soleil," but I must admit that the solo violin in these two works (first played by Frédéric Nore and then by Karolina Mlodecka) creates a truly evocative soundscape, which I feel is lacking in the first two albums of the band, focused on a more "energetic" (and definitely less fairytale-like) use of the woodwinds.
