ALBUM REVIEW
True leader of the French Rock scene in the middle of the Seventies, ANGE could not be satisfied to have success only in his home land. Admittedly, the foreign public appreciated the group enormously, but much more for its "exotic" use of the French language than for its real talents of composition. That is the context which led the formation to produce "By The Sons Of Mandrin", literal translation of "Par Les Fils De Mandrin" (1976), one of the major opus of its discography. This is a true event in the career of ANGE, as this record remains its one and only with English lyrics. For reasons long lost and on which only perhaps charismatic Christian DECAMPS could raise a corner of the veil, this album was never released. It remained well at the bottom of the drawers of Universal, until the day Musea had the good idea to invest its time and its energy, to finally drag this jewel from the shadow. With the studio album and the recent "En Concert - Par Les Fils De Mandrin Millésimé 1977", you have here a trilogy which any amateur must have in his collection!
