Album Description

MINIMUM VITAL is certainly amongst the most original bands from the Eighties Progressive rock scene: they mix art-rock influences from YES, an amazing virtuosity coming from fusion, many innovations and a deep mark from medieval and southern European traditional musics. From these diverse elements, MINIMUM VITAL built a style with a huge identity and originality. "Esprit D'Amor" (1997) is certainly the most original expression from the Progressive field of the last ten years ! The warm voices and the happy, energetic and direct Progressive music possess a huge musical charisma. The tracks are immediately appreciated and remain in our mind, thanks to their melodical and emotional impact. Not to be missed !

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2006-10-31

I read some good reviews about this band, but what I heard exceeded my expectation.
They play very uplifting, melodic music with a lot of drive. Yuo can even dance to this music, if you want.
Comaprisons? Oh, I really don't know...
Imagine style of Kate Bush (yes, one of their vocalist is female) "on steroids", i.e. without ballads, and with additions of some jazz flavor.
However, Kate Bush didn't have such a tasty guytar and keyboards solos on her albums!
