Laura - Colis Postal (1981 French Prog Rock)

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/o1152108.jpg

Indie sympho-prog from France, rather in the Camel vein. A mix of male and female vocals, some nice flute playing and a strong atmospheric feel. Like most French indie things of the era, super muddy production and bargain basement keyboards (a lot of those cheapie Elka and Crumar string-synth-cum-electronic-piano pieces o’crap) make this a bit of a chore to listen to.

Coincidence - Coincidence (French Jazz-Rock)

http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/628/o53416eq5.jpg



Clef de Ciel is an excellent album, purely fusion, reminding me very much of a Belgian band named Cos. It also sounds sort of like the best fusiony moments from Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow. The band was led by brothers Jean-Pierre Llabador on guitar and Jean-Claude Llabador on keyboards. Michel Montoyat played Rickenbacker bass, Joel Allouche was on drums and Olivier Chabrol played sax and piano. Yes, it's "just fusion" but it beats the hell out of UZEB. It's much more like the great European fusion bands of the time. -- Kenneth Newman

French prog/fusion band co-led by brothers Jean-Pierre (guitars) and Jean- Claude (guitars and keyboards) Llabador who did at least two records (Coincidence and Clef de Ciel), before Jean-Claude was killed in a tragic auto accident while touring. In the light of the band's history, I truly hate to say that I find both records to be rather pedestrian and uninteresting. Some of the guitar work is nice, but the keyboards are very dated- sounding, and the compositions are riddled with all sorts of lame jazz-rock cliches. Generally, the playing is merely competent but not especially inspired. Of the two records, Clef de Ciel is the superior.
