Product Description
ATOLL is one of the most renowned Seventies French Progressive rock bands, if not one of the best. Singer André 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, "Musiciens-Magiciens" reveals itself as a great debut album. Undeniable masterpiece of the band, "L'Araignée-Mal" (1975) saw the arrivals of the talented guitar player Christian BEYA and a violinist obviously influenced by Jean-Luc PONTY. The two keyboards players know perfectly how to use their Mellotrons and Moogs 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 its 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 title-track clocking at twenty minutes ! The whole puts ATOLL besides YES or KING CRIMSON for musical sophistication, as well as THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA. An impressive calling card, isn’t it ? Recognised then both for their melodic perfection and for their composing and arranging skills, the members recorded "Tertio" (Without second keyboardist or violinist) two years later, resolutely performing a refined Progressive rock in which the singer’s peculiar voice became verbal music. "Rock Puzzle" (1979) presents a more concise and varied music that followed the same orientation as the one taken by ANGE and MONA LISA at the same period. The first two albums include some live bonus tracks, and the fourth one three previously unreleased tracks with the great John WETTON ! Disappointed after the split-up of UK, the British singer-bassist had seriously thought about joining the band from Metz. He gave them such songs as "Here Comes The Feeling", performing a few months later by… ASIA ! The four first! ATOLL studio albums are now reissued by the Musea label in Digipack format, reproducing the original vinyl cover art. Do you really want to taste the best of French Progressive rock ?...
