Edition Spéciale "Aliquante" 1977 France Prog Jazz Rock Fusion
Here is the eagerly awaited reissue of EDITION SPECIALE’s second album ! This wonderful french
band of the seventies, featuring Ann Ballester (keyboards and vocals) and Mimi lorenzini (guitars and vocals)
released “Aliquante” in 1977. Nine concise, explosive pieces and songs (two bonus tracks, demos of the third
album) , in a vein near Weather Report, Return to Forever,…”Aliquante” means: “That is not included an exact
number of times in a whole”, an illustration of the complex rhythms the band loves. Josquin Turenne Des Près
(bass) and Alain Gouillard (drums) complete this bunch of increduble virtuosos, for a melodious, impressive and
warmful music, worked-out and inspired: an absolute masterpiece!..................
These four guys knew how to please their audience! The dynamic and powerful music on the nine compositions is based upon a strong and adventurous rhythm-section, great interplay and lots of sensational soli: wah- wah drenched guitar and pitchbend-driven keyboard pyrotechnics. A must for the jazz funk jazz rock aficionados!.............
