Description
Atoll is one of the most renowned Seventies French Progressive rock bands, if not one of the best. Singer Andr? BALZER, drummer extraordinaire Alain GOZZO and their colleagues display a music both complex and very elaborated, with sophisticated arrangements and constant melodic research. Recorded in 1974, "Musicians-Magiciens" reveals itself as a great debut album. Undeniable masterpiece of the band, "L'Araign?e-Mal" (1975) saw the arrivals of the talented guitar player Christian BEYA and famous violinist Richard AUBERT (KOMINTERN, GONG, TRIBU, VIOLON D'INGRES, ABRACADABRA...). The two keyboards players know perfectly how to use their Mellotrons and Moog's with accuracy, into varied and tricky compositions. This opus is the most ambitious piece of work ever made by Atoll, recorded as the band was at the peak of it's form. The inspired and masterfully played jazz-rock of "Cazotte N?2" is the perfect counterpart of two long tracks filled with lyricism. And watch out for the conceptual tit.
