Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Coming from Nantes (France), the keyboards player Bertrand LOREAU is a talented Klaus SCHULZE and VANGELIS disciple. Our man took the time to polish his style, in releasing four albums for the Musea Parallèle and Dreaming labels. "Prière" (1992), "Le Pays Blanc…" (1991-1993), "Sur Le Chemin" (1996) & "Jerichoacoara" (1998) showed an electronic music both suggestive and entertaining. Essentially made of reworked old compositions or that never appeared in the first opuses, "Passé Composé" (2002) is a very cultural piece of work, driven by a contagious passion. Helped by guitar player Lionel PALIERNE and keyboards player Olivier BRIAND, the multiple electronical textures create serene, feverish or hypnotic ambiences, never boring at all. The diversity of styles includes Progressive rock, experimental or repetitive musics, new-age or classical music. Here you're going to find ten years of artistical creation in one disc, a patchwork that eventually sounds as an entire! concept.

Customer Reviews:

Modern instrumental,a bit Tangerine Dream/early Roach-like.......2003-03-26

Despite of his declaration about his most important influences (Vangelis and Klaus Schulze),you can find a few bunches only regarding such style ...an higly strung violin along with an array of different moods, created by a soft wall of synths, make the atmosphere quite captivating;nevertheless the short length of the songs,which never reach the 2 minute duration, and the lack of complex arrangements as well, don't represent strictly a progressive stuff...yet the more acoustic tunes have got a certain appeal, after some repetitive listenings, and you can bear such a simple and not particularly inspiring album, as for its peaceful and relaxing mood,all over its duration, apart from its simple arrangement!! The problem connected with the present issue regards its heterogeneity or discontinuity too, due mainly to the fact this is a compilation album, featuring Bertrand Loreau in so many different steps of his career,which doesn't comply to a logical compact music narration. However,regardless such these remarks,at last the music palette is not bad in general... MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE BY FRENCH MUSEA!!
