MALDOROR \ L' ARBRE CIMETIERE 2004.
A few words :
Formerly known as
MANDRAGORE and then
SHERLOCK, this talented quartet from the south of
France have steadily honed their skills playing covers and live gigs for ten years before actually recording their first album. If the latter is any indication of things to come,
MALDOROR* has to be one of the
most promising French outfit around. As influences go, we could mention KING CRIMSON, GENESIS, SPOCK'S BEARD and ANGLAGARD, but these French progsters are truly in a class of their own. Strongly rooted in the 70's tradition and with a typically French/dramatic approach (with Christian Decamps-style vocals), they manage to bypass all cliches and deliver s
ymphonic prog of the finest quality.VERY GOOD..Link :
