ALBUM REVIEW
Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentist, Emmanuel TISSOT is at the origins of MOTIS, an interesting French band from the Franche-Comté region. Its musical influences are to be found in his own curriculum vitae: Progressive rock with OCEANE or MUSICAL BOX, independent rock with LES COPRINS, jazz with MADJAROCKA and LE RAVING'S CLUB BIG BAND, French chanson with LES WAGONS DE QUEUE... His new project will show a special love for medieval, etnic and traditional music...The second album "L'Homme-Loup" (2007) is in the same vein as the first one, but with more elaborate arrangements, melodies and production. MOTIS creates a medieval Progressive rock, deeply influenced by the Middle Age's literature and myths ("The Knights Of The Round Table", "La Chanson De Roland", Chrétien De TROYES...). Poetic French lyrics deal with wolves, Merlin the Wizzard, ermits, dragons, lords and castles, treachery... The music of MOTIS offers a wide range of instruments, traditional (Mandolin, epinette, flute...) or rock (Mellotron, Moog, Hammond organ...). The musicians' music is a mix of medieval and rock music, with Progressive rock sounds and influences, not unlike ANGE's milestone "Au-Delà Du Délire", or TRI YANN. A nice album, typical of the French Progressive rock style. (Musea) For further info visit the Official Homepage or one of the following websites: Rate Your Music or My Space.
