Product Description

Even though VISIBLE WIND is less famous than SPOCK'S BEARD or THE FLOWER KINGS, it's still an undeniable success of Nineties Progressive rock. This quartet deserves at least as much attention as the two above mentioned references, something of a success ! Singer Steffen GEYSENS multiplies keyboards interventions that alternate with vocal parts both in French and in English. The Moog solos as well as the Seventies sounds evoke GENESIS (Mainly), YES (Luc ROY's Rickenbacker bass has a very peculiar sound), CAMEL (The lyrical flute) or even KING CRIMSON (Claude RAINVILLE's melodic guitar can be heavily tortured, while we have a serious contender to John WETTON at the vocals...). Drummer Luc HEBERT effortlessly astonishes the listener thanks to a truly unique style, full of subtleties and invention. In 1988, "Catharsis" was the first and yet very good album of their discography, before two excellent CDs were released ("A Moment Beyond Time" in 1991 & "Emergence" in 1! 994), even though they still showed a style that wasnt very defined yet. Then "Narcissus Goes To The Moon" came from nowhere, with a very different production to all that had been done before, and that made its content immediately identifiable. Anyway, this epic work of more than 70 minutes flaws effortlessly, and succeeds in not making the listener bored before the end. Here is then one of the essential albums of 1996, if not of the decade...
