Some very smooth US-style fusion from this band, typically eighties in sound but with some great passages well worth hearing for fans of the genre. Information on this release here. I recall so well Tom Hayes saying he hates drum machines-- I hate them too, but what I hate still more is the loud end of beat claps you hear in these eighties fusion records... Probably after watching one too many old MTV videos in which artists clapped in unison in those old grainy colors...
I'll post the last track which possesses the advantage of being brief in addition to the quality of beauty.

Many thanks for the L' Arbre Verre and L'Air Lumiere albums, it is just so beautiful and the latter must be incredibly rare, even for a private press, for it not to have at least one outrageously expensive copy on Discogs (looks like there has never been a copy sold).
ReplyDeleteThere is one copy of his other album for sale at £95!
Also I really appreciate all the scans and everything - these are two albums that I can see playing way into the future.
Yes, I agree completely regarding Didier Bonin... again, many thanks to the original ripper (our friend pollux from prognotfrog)!
ReplyDeleteCould you re-up the WAV for Orange Lake Drive please, thanks again
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Orange Lake Drive. These guys would often open for bigger name jazz headliners when I was going to shows as a lad. They would headline clubs as well, but I had to sneak in. I remember them as very solid.
