ALBUM REVIEW
"Aliquante" (1977) is not about a famous Spanish harbour: this adjective describes a rhythmic concept based on very complex tempo cuts, dear to EDITION SPECIALE. That second effort shows an almost-instrumental side one, designed to match the best American jazz-rock fusion bands of the time, WEATHER REPORT and THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA at the top of the list. The occasion to become familiar with the subtle and energetic drumming of the newcomer Alain GOUILLARD, a real virtuoso, to be classified alongside Bill BRUFORD or Alain GOZZO. An an exclusive bonus, the Musea reissue includes the models for two tracks, to be released twelve months after on the third and last studio album: "Horizon Digital" (1978). Without any doubt one of the most important French bands of the Seventies! (Musea)
