Wow. As time allows I like to visit the world of Boris Vian and all its little side-affects on culture - and this prog rock album from 1979 is pretty much - wow? When I heard it, I thought for sure 1971 -I mean the punk movement totally went under the bridge for this band. I know very little of Memoriance, but listening to the album they sort of remind me of Roger Waters era Pink Floyd with lots of French overtures in sound and design. Do I like this album? Well, not really my cup of drink, but it is Boris Vian related, so its a must-have. I bought an used vinyl copy at Amoeba.
