Ici Est Ailleurs
Progressive rock fans discovered RAISON DE PLUS, thanks to the 1987 "Enchantement" compilation. Since this period, the French band from Nancy has worked on its first album project, as the "Le Roi Du Temps" maxi-vinyl tends to prove it. And eight years will be necessary to realize "Au Bout Du Couloir", involving a lot of care. With the same team, Jean-Louis HENRIET"s group produces in 2001 the sublime "Ici Est Ailleurs". This opus sounds much more professional, while the musicians has reached another maturity step. With its Progressive rock sung in French, RAISON DE PLUS is close to ANGE, MONA LISA or ELIXIR. Or to heirs like VERSAILLES and MAGNESIS. A music influenced by the Seventies, as well for compositions and lyrics as for sounds (Analog keyboards, flute, etc...). Those ten tracks assign a large space to instrumental developments, evolving in lyrical guitar soli and ethereal keyboards. Tracks are intermixed with vocal sequences between traditional singing and narrations. Take a seat for a one-hour trip throughout dreamworld !
