Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"Disciple of the wizards", "One of the greatest French virtuosos of the guitar", "A new trouvere", "A modern griot"... Here are a few sentences chosen by the French press at the beginning of the Eighties, to qualify Philippe CAUVIN's works. The leader of the atypic Progressive rock group UPPSALA has reinvented his beloved instrument, the classical guitar, and has created for the occasion a unique music. It can be described as a delightful mix of middle-aged songs and current hymns. This is a strange mix of classic language, church prayers and vanguard rock. Philippe CAUVIN has one more thing playing for him: his voice. An almost woman-like singing, displaying weird imaginary words, which has apparently been made for us to dream. His second solo album, "Climage" (1979), is the fruit of five years of work. Acclaimed by the musical press, this unique album reveals a beautiful, strange and sensual music coming from another planet, like a challenge for the time. "Memento" goes one step beyond the first album, in the realm of "spiritual" music. It showcases an ambitious epic composition, a 20 minute-suite for classical guitar, percussions and voices. Several unreleased tracks are present here, recorded in 1980, 1989 and 1996. Adventurous, fascinating, mystical and moving: Musea reissues once again a timeless work of art. Not to be missed !
