I just discovered this band a few minutes ago, and I immediately wanted to share it with you (remaining) Frost*ies

The "Making Of" slightly reminded me some other very exciting Reports... if you know what I mean 

Here's a recent interview of J-M Jarre :

"Jean Michel Jarre makes us discover his synthesizers in his studio in Bougival.
Meeting Video | He is the godfather of unusual tenths Night Sounds, in Lyon, from May 16 to 20 Jean Michel Jarre received us in his studio, surrounded by his historic synthesizers."

Interresting hair, isn't it? (the guy is 63   )

[Rythmicon]

You probably know the ondes Martenot and the theremin...
Did you hear about the 1932's Rythmicon?
The first rhythm machine ever built :

[waidin']

I just heard a singer on the radio: Matt Bioul, a Belgian guy who sings in English.
The speaker said it sounded like English pop ...  :shock:

The song is Waiting For The Sun :

Yes, there is indeed the Mellotron-flute-cliché!
But I have a question to you British guys, what do you think of his accent?
Do people really say "waidin' for the sun" in Oxford?  :lol:

Sylvan is coming to Bordeaux on may 24, did anyone ever hear them live?

[Listen to Jem's chords]

On the 1st Roland video "Jeremy Godfrey on Fantom-G", Jem plays a few chords with a beautiful choir sound :

The video :

Same one, better sound on Roland's Website : http://www.roland.com/demos/en/i0088/index.html

...but I think his playing does a lot : even with my antique Kawai K1 Fairlight-like Aah sound, those chords sound very nice.
I do think Jem would make a Bontempi sound gorgeous  :lol:

My attempt to transcribe (edit : thanks Catherine! ) :

I don't know well this band, but I saw a few vids on Youtube.
As you Frosties* are so skilled in prog music, I have to ask : what album should I buy first?

Thanks!

I had'nt listen to Saga for years, I discovered their latest albums.
It seems they managed to keep their personality and still evolve.

It's cool to hear progressive music without mellotron and dragon's stories  :lol:

I think frosties* may like it, who knows ?
Here are a few short samples from the 2003' album Trust :

That's As Far As I'll Go :
- Intro
- a clip
- another clip

You Were Right intro
(reminds me of It Bites' Rose Marie, one of my favorites')

[this sound]

Does anyone know what type of synth makes this sound?
(Guess where I heard it  :lol: )

Although I'm a guitarist, I play keys a little. I'd like to get close to this fabulous sound with some vsti - certainly not with my 88' Kawai K1 :evil:

Hi, I'm new on this board  
Just wanted to say hello from France (I live between Bordeaux and Cognac, ever heard of those places?  :lol: )
Needless to say, I find Frost*'s music just magnifique  8-)
