Angipatch ~ France ***REISSUED***


Vie. 1981 private
Delirium. 1982 private

***Reissued by Musea in 2021

Angipatch's debut Vie is a fine example of the dramatic French progressive style ala Ange and Mona Lisa. Of course, this is a more amateurish production, typical of the early 1980s, but the effort is sincere and certainly worth seeking out. Perhaps Elohim's Le Mana Perdu would be a good reference. On Delirium, Angipatch mixes neo prog with new wave synth pop and French vocals, and is a huge step down from the debut. Disappointing. 

Priority: 3 (for Vie)

Octopus ~ Norway ***REISSUED***


Thaerie Wiighen. 1981 private 

***Reissued by Norske Albumklassikere in May 2021

Extremely rare symphonic album, with an incredible cover and libretto booklet insert. The music is not unlike many of the Swiss private progressive albums found in this list (Eloiteron, Agamemnon, Sicher, etc...). Also the Norwegian band Thule, who came along a few years later, would be a reference.
