Espaces 2. 1978 Arc en Ciel
Yves and Alain Lorentz are two names that appeared on this one album and haven't been heard from since. Typical of a French band, Espaces 2 has that signature compressed and phased out electric guitar sound, mixed with String Ensemble synthesizers (or a facsimile thereof). Somewhat like Sensations' Fix Portable Madness minus the rhythm section. Ah, you say, wouldn't that be Falsini's Cold Nose then? Perhaps a bit more dynamic than that may imply, but yes it's a fair comparison. Other French artists such as Ose, Renaud, Archaia, and Flamen Dialis provide more guideposts for what you can expect here. An excellent aural experience, the music belongs more to electronic than progressive rock, but the lines can often be blurred. Even though this LP may have been scored for the film and TV market, it works well as a cohesive album.
Priority: 2
3/5/11 (new entry); 1/18/20

Espaces 1 exists I own it. It is not from the Lorentz brothers but by Patrice Sciortino released in 1978 also on the Arc En Ciel label it features the same cover as Espaces 2 only in silver.
I can send you a CD-R if you are interested to sample it.
Similar Sound Library album but with percussion instead.
Excellent info. Thanks Strawbsfan!
