The available review praises Laurent Thibault's short 1979 album 'Mais on ne peut pas rêver tout le temps' for its originality and refined restraint. The record is described as progressive/ambient with familial ties to Zeuhl via Thibault's connection to Magma. The album is about half an hour long and foregrounds distinctive bass work and concrete soundscapes. The reviewer recommends it as a manifesto against prolixity.
