Starting on the lengthy title track, oscillating between a slight jazz-rock mixed with a psych groove that would not disown the Saucerful-era Floyd. Start with Platock, which most will agree is his best. The music here would be great if played live. Should you get a proof of how amateurish, they cut the track in two separating it with the album's flipping over, before taking where it left off. But for most of us, this is the type of album that will interest only the Markusfeld fans. Starting bizarrely with an acoustic guitar where Markusfeld narrates more than sings until the chorus which is the title of the album arrives and brings the electric side of the whole group in. alain markusfeld

All pieces features Markusfeld french singing, in a rather spoken theatrical and declamatory style, which may remind of Ange. His albums blend multi- layered acoustic guitars with fiery leads, piano, ethereal female voices, throbbing bass and percussion. Saturday, June 03, Alain Markusfeld - Platock The music hesitates between several genres: Frogmorton - At Last New friends - spirit of community!

The closing Eve is the other highlight of the album, with Dugreneau's interesting double bass dominating the first part, while for the second part, he uses his bow and drones over Markusfeld's tense and madkusfeld guitar Markusfeld qlain then stop releasing albums until the late 70's, where he'll be exploring a full- blown jazz-rock, Desert Noir being a guitar only and acoustic mainly album.

The long piece is unfortunatly not convincing and suffers from a cruel lack of inspiration and its repetitive characteristic. Start with Platock, which most will agree is his best. The next two songs which are parts 1 and 2 of La Terre Se Devore, are your classic 60's psychedelic music with the guitar giving some nice solos and then giving a main music theme that the song will follow its lines.

The lyrics, somehow science fiction inspired, feature a metaphysical, philosophical dimension with a good amount of delirious sick humour. Markusfeld is now turning to a more gentle neo symphonic vein leaded by piano, which may remind of Cyrille Verdeaux solo works at times. Magkusfeld begins very quietly with discrete and ethereal keyboards, when suddenly Markusfeld's guitar bursts like thunder.

First two releases are very rare. The music is good, but this is not something we haven't heard before or elsewhere.

His albums blend multi- layered acoustic guitars with fiery leads, piano, ethereal female voices, throbbing bass and percussion. The overall music is good and enjoyable, but nothing special that will make you regret not getting this long ago. Other sites in the MAC network: But for most of us, this is the type of album that will interest only the Markusfeld fans.

Le Desert Noir is a heavier guitar album which features drums on almost every track, overall very hendrix influenced.

A bit repetitive and instrumental, this is the centrepiece of the album and Thibalt's Rhodes contribution is remarkable. The next one starts with a cool guitar sound that sounds like sea waves alaiin thing I could think of.

The flipside starts with what couldn't have fitted on its opposite face, but not really bringing much new.

With Platock, there is more maturity in his sound, combining delicate acoustic guitars and more piano to his trademark sound, with less reliance on drums. An odd and promising debut album. About Me Lisa Sinder View my complete profile. The music here would be great if played live.
