4.0 out of 5 stars Christian Boule - 'Non-Fiction' (Musea) - French import CD, May 14, 2007

If you don't recognize the name, Christian Boule has worked with Clearlight on a few lp's and has been on several Steve Hillage efforts like 'Fish Rising', 'Live Herald' and 'Deeply Vale,1978'. Best way one could describe Boule's music is, I guess French progressive or art rock. Either way, 'Non-Fiction' is a worthy pick. Dug almost every track on this solo release. Tunes that sort of had me sit up and take notice was the title cut "Non-Fiction", "Psychedelik" (that's their way of spelling it), the wailing "Magic Fanfare", the pop-like "L.I.F.E." (good female vocals) and the CD's two Gong sound-alikes "Glissader Aquarian" and "Synthetic Lover" (possibly disc's best song). Line-up: Christian Boule-guitar,keyboards & vocals, Patrice Conjas-bass, Jean-Pierre Thirault-sax, Xavier Baullereret-guitar, Jacky Bouladoux-percussion, Geraldine Andre-vocals, Yves Lannes-keys&clarinet and Tim Blake-keyboards. Comes with 12-page informative booklet printed in both French and English. A should-have.

Solo album number two for this French guitarist, which I rate higher than his first offering the year before in 1978. The sax and "art rock" sensibilities are still here as before, but this just sounds a lot more "spacier" & focused to my ears. Christian's guitar playing and the overall tone of the album should have no problem satisfying your Space Rock cravings,if that is what you're after. Lots and lots of keyboards & synth, along with that aforementioned guitar tone,make this a worthy addition to that now somewhat archaic genre.

For the curious or newcomer I would recommend this release, over his first album, without reservation. Listening to it now, as I write this review, it holds up rather well - "archaic" or not, I still enjoy it!
