Залит PatrickGauthier/(1992)_Sur_Les_FlotsVerticaux

Славный представитель французского зюль-движения, клавишник групп Магма и Хелдон - Патрик Готье.
Музыка очень интересная, но не похожая на эти группы. Зюль, однозначно, но с ОЧЕНЬ сильной примесью бродвейского вокализа.
Любителям стиля слушать обязательно!

Sur Les Flots Verticaux
Patrick Gauthier
RIO/Avant-Prog, 1992
(c) Review by BrufordFreak, PA

Very good keyboard-based Zeuhl prog from the former НELDON, MAGMA, and WIEDORJE keyboard artist. It is obvious that Patrick is an accomplished pianist and loves the Broadway vocal medium.

1. "Des pygm'es dans la ville" (6:34) I kind of happy Calypso Zuehl. (9/10)

2. "Sur les flots verticaux" (10:01) One of the greatest prog/Zeuhl 'classical' 'tudes ever written. The Coltrane, Orff and D'bussy influences are strong here. Gorgeous vocal arrangements and renderings. (10/10)

3. "Le train fant'me" (7:18) odd and unusual but hypnotic in the Zeuhl fashion, so I guess it's a success. Just . . . weird. (9/10)

4. "Odessa" (4:11) is pure classical/jazz piano soloing. Very Gershwinian. (8.5/10)

5. "Eleutheren" (8:17) is founded, unfortunately, on almost the exact same rhythm as song #3. The vocal expedition is different--more Magma and Broadway music styled (Manhattan Transfer)--though I hear monastic chant as well. Amazing "piccolo" bass play. Well performed, interestingly and creatively composed. (9/10)

6. "Zawinal" (8:26) another Broadway-esque/Manhattan Transfer-like song. Too repetitive, over-dramatic and drawn out. (7/10)
