BBI ~ BBI SOLEIL ZEUHL 15 (Barcode: 8713657090813) ~ FRANCE ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion Recorded: 1996Released: 2008 French trio BBIFind albums by this artist recorded just one album before the members moved on to other projects. The members were guitarist Laurent ImperatoFind albums by this artist (ex-XaalFind albums by this artist), bassist Philippe BussonnetFind albums by this artist (MagmaFind albums by this artist, One ShotFind albums by this artist) and drummer Jean-Claude BuireFind albums by this artist (ex-OfferingFind albums by this artist). The album is quite similar to the instrumental Jazz-Rock Fusion guitar oriented music played by One Shot, driven by the superb bass lines played by Bussonnet. The music is highly energetic and improvised, with the guitar performing some wild pyrotechnics. The repetitive rhythmic patterns and the intensive sound of the French Zeuhl school, developed by the Magma camp, are of course the foundation, but this album is definitely more Fusion oriented that any of the Magma albums. Three of the six composition present here, written by Bussonnet will appear later in reworked form on the first One Shot album three years later. Magma and Zeuhl fans will jump on this album, but it is recommended to all listeners who love guitar power trios. Thanks to Soleil ZeuhlFind albums on this label one more gem from the French heritage has been rescued from oblivion. The music was mastered and restored by the Israeli sound wizard Udi KoomranFind albums by this artist.
