Versailles Don Giovanni CD

Versailles is a very interesting French band led by charismatic Guillaume de la PILIERE. It performs a powerful Progressive rock full of nuances and close to ANGE's, with Christian DECAMPS' style of typically dramatic vocals and theatrical tone. Fully mature from their first album "La Cath?drale Du Temps" (1991) onwards, this band has still refined and polished it's music both technically and melodically, while their spirit and sounds remained in the best ANGE tradition. No electronic drums or digital instruments are showcased here: analogue rules ! the concept-album "Le Tr?sor de Valli?sres" (1994) includes superb keyboards (Among which a Mellotron bought from YES !) and gets even closer to the sound and spirit of the seventh decade of this ending Twentieth Century... "Blaise Et Benjamin" (1998) was their latest album recorded and it didn't deny (It actually reinforced) their three previous productions. It is a brilliant concept-album, a moral tale, a philosophical quest, an opposition.
