NEW CD
Flamen Dialis Symptome Dei france 1977
new cd
"This long-awaited reissue features all the group's works, magnificently remastered. Think early Franco Battiato, think a chanted cult prayer using mellotrons and VCS3. Think psyche, avant-garde, amateur, professional, underground, otherworldly, and you will get FLAMEN DIALIS. The most out-of-nowhere, unknown, and outstanding masterpiece from France. Recorded in 1978, Symptome Dei is one of the most bizarre, unique recordings you won't forget your entire life. Once you fall in love with it, your attitude towards music changes." "Flamen Dialis (a type of ancient Roman priest, apparently) grew out of the Yecta Plus Band, releasing a single, Decouverte, in 1978 and their sole album, Symptome-Dei, a year later. This really isn't like anything else you'll have heard, unless you're a devotee of Univers Zero et al.; weird, dissonant, experimental, with strange wordless voices and a 'chamber' feel about much of it, but quite exceptionally good with it. I personally found it far more listenable than the other bands with which they get compared, so as long as you're into that 'prog' thing to start with, don't let this description put you off. Difficult to pick out the better tracks on a first listen; suffice to say, if you're feeling adventurous, hopefully you won't be too freaked out." Includes their amazing 7" from 1977as two bonus tracks!
