Arc, France


Maquette. 1980 Le Kiosque d'Orphee / Game

Maquette is an earnest attempt to recreate the Ange / Mona Lisa style of dramatic French language progressive rock. Similar to other such efforts like Elohim's Le Mana Perdu (1983), Trefle (1979), or Elixir's Sabbat (1987). It's a distinctly French form of rock, and for what it is, it's pretty good. Don't expect Ange though.

Priority: 3

9/6/10

I have ordered it in US 2 years ago.
