the only negative comment I have about Gazeuse is that the last, soft track is way too short: it feels like they were just warming into it when someone told them to pack up and get out of the studio!

My favourite Gazeuse track at the moment is Esnuria. It has a great groove and I love the build up and just how the song develops with the percussion instruments, guitar and brass. It's a brilliant song with rocking bits as well as beautiful parts.
Usually, it's not a record I consciously sit down and dedicate attention to, but I might put it on while working on something and then I find myself grooving along after a little while.
It's a very good from me  |
Those ideas sum up where I sit at well. A close second is the track Expresso itself, which I find to be a very fun ride. Really dig that xylophone sound followed by really grungy garage drums.
I feel the excellent guitar playing on track two, Night Illusion, saves it, but the final track is a bit dull (Mirelle).... it's unforgivably down.
I enjoy the majority of this album very much... I really enjoy the playfulness...
