Wlud Carrycroch CD

French band from the late Seventies, Wlud is made of the initials of it's four musician's name. Philippe WENDLING, Bernard LABROCHE, Gigi UNTERSINGER and Gianni DRAGO play instrumental Progressive rock music full of fineness and contrast. It's compositions are very well constructed, including many themes full of detours and surprises as well as rich harmonies. The first album "Carrycroch'" (1978) can be compared with works by CAMEL or Bo HANSSON. On "Second" (1979), Wlud evolves towards a mixing of Progressive rock with some jazz-rock accents. The musician display melodious themes, full of nuances and marriage of sounds. Keyboards and guitar weave serene, tormented or ethereal and romantic climates. Though less ambitious, this can be considered as a great meeting between CAMEL and BRAND X. Both Musea reissues include bonus-tracks, essentially from two singles recorded later on (With French lyrics). to be rediscovered !
