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)

9/18/10 (new entry); 7/3/21 (complete)

Being a dedicated fan of classic symphonic rock and loving MONA LISA's and ANGE's sound,I can only recommend ''Vie'' highly to anyone after these bands,despite the typical late-70's/early 80's sound/style problems of the album...

Great work Tom,keep it going!
