Travelling - Voici La Nuit Tombee - 1973 (2000 Mellow rec. MMP 390)Review from my Futura feature in Audion #46 (2002)...: Much touted as a French answer to Caravan, this was always one album I was eager to hear, as when the French go Canterbury-esque they always do it with that strangely Gallic finesse (c.f. Ame Son, Moving Gelatine Plates, Forgas) adding something uniquely their own. In essence, aside from the Caravan edge, they were much more a Soft Machine cum Egg type trio, with slightly Robert Wyatt-like vocals from Yves Hasselmann (also on piano and organ) and an almost Supersister feel in the rhythm section: Jacques Goure (bass) and Roger Gremillot (drums).
The album's tour-de-force is side one's Voici La Nuit Tombee itself, at 19'35" it's long for a French work of the period, which strongly features Hasselmann's distorted keyboards as the focus in a complex suite and the only actual song of the album at its core. The five tracks that covered side two were all different, Flamenco (not a Flamenco at all) kind of predates Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom feel with its multi-piano phrasings and sleazy jazzy beat and Wyatt "daddly-da-de-- daaa" before it goes off on a complex classical walkabout, moving seamlessly into Passo to the jazzy Soleil to the mini keyboard symphony Tout Compte Fait to lightly Magma edged Shema where we return to the theme of Flamenco, which pretty much means side two was a one-side work as well.
Distinctly 70's pioneering prog (recorded on 5 February 1973, to be precise), it's both quaintly dated and simultaneously fresh today, and a definite "must hear".
