French TV – After A Lengthy Silence (1987) (@256)
27 Jan 2010
(Review from Expose)
On “After A Lengthy Silence”, the band’s sound is something of an instrumental fusion, incorporating some complex ensemble parts which at times betray a calculated Zappa influence. The music alternates between more improvisational sections, featuring some nice jazzy guitar and woodwind soloing over jerky odd-meter ostinatos, and some tighter, more intricate passages.
A lot of ideas are packed into each of the six instrumental tunes, which often change abruptly from one theme to the next. This gives listeners a wealth of meaty prog sounds to feast their ears upon.
This edition of the album contains a French TV interpretation of Nektar’s “A Tab in the Ocean” as a nice fifteen minute bonus track.
Line-up:
- Mike Sary / bass
- Artie Bratton / acoustic & electric guitars
- Tom Browning / guitar solo (2-5)
