Vu d'un chien

Description

ANGE is unquestionably the most popular of the progressive rock bands from France. Their music is built on the typical, melodramatic singing of the eccentric Christian DECAMPS, the powerful sounds of his brother Francis’s organ, as well as the development of medieval, energetic and feverish themes. The band invented its own style, at once epic and delirious, blending madness, emotions and heightened feelings. This poetic rock, in the French style, took shape as soon as the band was formed in 1969 (“En Concert 1970-1971” includes unreleased tracks from the early period, in particular the rock opera “L'Epopée Du Général Machin”, with the band’s first bassists and guitarists.), then became formalized on “Caricatures”, their first album released three years later. “Le Cimetière Des Arlequins” comes twelve months before what would remain the most beloved and most progressive rock triptych by the Dechamps brothers: “Au-Delè du Délire” was released in 1974, “Emile Jacotey” in 1975 and “Par Les Fils De Mandrin” in 1976. In 2009, the Musea label launched a new collection of remastered albums in Digisleeve format, reproducing the original vinyl sleeves on CD. The first to receive this premium treatment is none other than “Guet-Apens”, the latest being “Vu D'Un Chien” (1980).
