Editorial Reviews

Do you think that the only eponymous album recorded by SANDROSE is an unique masterpiece of Seventies French Progressive rock ? You’re not wrong… Or are you ? Two years before, a line-up named EDEN ROSE had recorded "On The Way To Eden". What’s my point, will you ask ? Easy: in both cases, the musicians were exactly the same ones ! Two noticeable differences however: the absence of a vocalist and a fundamental change of style. In the case of EDEN ROSE, we can hear a trio from Marseilles that performs an instrumental proto-Progressive rock based on the keyboards and with guitarist Jean-Pierre ALARCEN’s participation. Twenty-four months later, we’ll be able to hear a true vocal Progressive rock line-up, led by the same Jean-Pierre ALARCEN. All this makes a real distinction that you can pinpoint straight away ! In the present case, we are invited to hear a truly interesting music in the style of PROCOL HARUM or THE NICE. Another masterpiece uncovered for you by Musea !

This review is from: On The Way To Eden (Audio CD)

Originally released in 1969, as this was the French progressive / instrumental band's sole record. Couple of tunes I thought were worth mentioning are the opening title track "On The Way To Eden", "Sad Dream", "Feeling In The Living" and the Procol Harum-like "Under The Sun". Line-up: Jean-Pierre Alarcen - guitar, Christian Clairefond - bass, Henri Garella - keyboards and Michel Jullien - drums. Band's influences were notably Procol Harum and Savoy Brown. Not a bad CD reissue, simply not my thing. Might appeal to fans of Soft Machine and Sandrose.
