Neo
Price 19.00 - 19.51 USD
A long time before the famous movie hit "Matrix", NEO was the name of a French quintet that performed instrumental Progressive rock, and was led by bassist André PAUL and saxophone player Didier ERARD (FRENCH KISS). This line-up issued their unique eponymous album in 1980. Their compositions are based on melodies with occasional breaks, rhythms changes, accelerations, colours as well as changing and sophisticated atmospheres. The themes are very elaborated, complex and not quite straight and easy. The instrumental dialogues are numerous: a rageous or cutting edge guitar answers to inventive keyboards or to a whirling saxophone line. The band can successively remind of Bo HANSSON, CAMEL (Mel COLLINS"s period) or CARAVAN, and sometimes KING CRIMSON ("Islands" days). An absolute rarity, to be rediscovered without delay !
