"Fly My Dove,
Fly" is a warm endearing sonic journey. Full of production flourishes
that highlight acoustic Guitar & Flute, married to shaped & contoured
string synthesis "All Like A
Dream" is a solid & bold cut that brings to mind a subtle frenetic
pace, characteristic of a band like Yes In a song like
"I Can Never Explain (Can't Be In Vain)", one is witness to a retro-harmonic
work that is original & timeless in scope. Vocally, Alexandre reminds
one of Jon Anderson. That in our book, is a huge melodic oriented plus
"Take Me Home"
is a mid-tempo ballad, that is nicely complimented by tasteful 12 string
Acoustic Guitar & analogue synthesis ; Whereas in a tune like "Wait",
the contrasting mood is more formal & reflective in tone. Augmented by
Harpsichord & Bagpipe synthesizers, a subtle time signature exudes an
emotional resolve & brings to mind a dollop of the Moody Blues Justin
Hayward "Love Will Remain"
has a splash of Greek styled Guitar in the intro, which fans out into
an orchestrated ambiance & grandeur. An altruistic lyrical undertow adds
emphasis to the piece, along with some crisp electric six string Guitar
& Hammond Organ Alexandre De
Guise Lamarque's originality & emphasis on melodic content is a strong
magnet that draws his listeners toward his music like a moth to a flame.
The classic Progressive Rock nature of his work is not mired by or diluted
by excessive layering or overplaying His songs have
a sublime fluidity & grace that is intrinsically evident in the atmosphere
& wide open breadth of his muse ; Like looking up at a clear blue sky
with the sun rays filtering down upon the landscape. Alexandre De Guise
Lamarque paints colors deep & pastel onto his sound canvas, that are inspirational
, positive & sleek in nature & beatific design |
