Product Description
Patrick FORGAS has created for more than twenty years a music as personal as slendid, inspired by SOFT MACHINE, Robert WYATT (To whom he is often compared) and by the Canterbury School. Several albums demonstrated his exceptional talent as a compositor and arranger, in his quest of ideal synthesis between rock and jazz. Clearly more atmospheric than the works of his eponymous line-up, "Synchronicité" (2002) appears as a very specific concept based on philosopher Jean BOISSET's books. Seven essential tracks evoke the mysterious relation which exists between individual conscience and cosmos. A majestic, beautiful and contemplative music based on polyphonic keyboards and discreet percussions. Such as other great contemporary compositors-pianists (VANGELIS, Klaus SCHULZE…), Patrick FORGAS invents a new musical world made of peace and serenity.

What a beautiful music !!!!.......2003-12-06

Patrick Forgas is a french composer well known of jazz-rock fans. But here, the music is different from what he used to write on his previous works and leans towards ambient à la Synergy (see my review for 'Electronic realizations for rock orchestra') or Tangerine Dream, with repetitive motifs reminiscent of Glass' minimalism or Carla Bley's music. The music is not only based on the use of keyboards, but also on the use of percussions, revealing Patrick's jazz background. This album deserves to be listened to and can easily be compared to the best rated albums of ambient music. For people who like Jordan Rudess'solo albums, Robert Fripp's soundscapes (circa 'A blessing of tears')or even Jan Garbarek's solo work, this is a must that you won't regret to have purchased. Listen to it with your heart !!!
