ALBUM REVIEW
Acanthe is a prog band from the Grenoble area existed from 1973 to 1977. Thanks to Frédéric Leoz, the original writer and composer, some original tapes were recently re-discovered, leading, after a lot of re-working effort, to "Someone Somewhere". The music of Acanthe, although never released before, easily takes place among the best french bands of this period. It reveals influences from Pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson, Ange or The Doors (some organ parts especially), but offers a personal music, mixing instrumental and sung sequences, in english or french. Well played, refined and worked-out, with beautiful guitar solos and suggestive keyboards, "Someone Somewhere" is intense, full of musical ideas and inspiration. (Musea)
