Magnesis - Les Fantômes de Noisot (2024)

 

The 14th album from this band from France.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, mellotron and vocals.

One guest added drums on one track.

I have been a follower of this band for the last fifteen years or so. Their first six-seven albums are really great. The music being French symphonic prog flavoured neo-prog. 

This forty minutes long album starts out brightly with some very good vocals on the top of some French symphonic prog flavoured neo-prog songs.

This is not the best music we have ever heard from them, but it is still good.

After twenty-five minutes or so, the album becomes a more instrumental ambient album. The album ends with a pretty good piece of neo-classical music.

This album is probably one of the least interesting albums this band has released. It is still a pretty good album though. I hope this band, as Ange just have done, one day will return to releasing quality albums.

2.5 points
