Editorial Reviews

A famous producer of the French and African music scenes, François BREANT was also the author of two albums in the late Seventies, sought-after because of their perfection and of the different innovations that they included. Indeed, this man is a truly talented keyboardist, naturally looking for innovation. With engineer André HARWOOD, François BREANT found his perfect soul mate to develop his most advanced concepts. The guest musicians, all quite famous (Didier LOCKWOOD, Albert MARCOEUR, Pascal ARROYO, Klaus BLASQUIZ, Stella VANDER, Guy DELACROIX, Marc PERRU, Emmanuel LACORDAIRE...) were all met within CRUCIFERIUS !, KAPAK, ERGO SUM and NEMO, as well as in Bernard LAVILLIERS' backing band. The result: an unique blend of electronic musics and Progressive rock with classical influences, difficult to put in any category but still quite easy to grasp, with a particular emphasis on the keyboards analogic sounds. The first part "Sons Optiques" (1979) is the soundtrack of an imaginary film.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was 5 stars in '79!!, February 23, 2004

This album was far ahead of its time. The sound is exceptional & the writing superb. I cannot speak to the origins of Mr. Breant's talent but I must say that in 2004, I still look upon this work as something special.

It's quite atmospheric, yet it engages those intested in the more technical aspects of music. Mr. Breant is a fine performer who found many interesting sounds & textures using the more "primitive" equipment available in the late '70's. The technical limitations are scarcely evident.

Hats off to Francois Breant! I wish I could find more of your wrok.

I have the original album from 1979. It was way ahead of its time. I recommend this album. It is a soundtrack to an imaginary film. the music still sounds good today
