MOVING GELATINE PLATES ~ REMOVING MUSEA 4663 (Barcode: 3426300046635) ~ FRANCE ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 2006 Released: 2006 The excellent French Prog group Moving Gelatine PlatesFind albums by this artist recorded two albums in the early 1970s and a reunion album in 1980 (all 3 albums are included on the two reissue albums available on MuseaFind albums on this label) and then disappeared from the scene like most early groups. Almost 30 years later they reunited again and recorded this album, which of course created quite a buzz in the Prog community. Rather than trying to recreate their original style, the new album is quite different in most respects, except for the beautiful 1970s (retro) sound. In fact the albums sounds remarkably Canterbury, somewhere between Soft MachineFind albums by this artist and CaravanFind albums by this artist, and if I didn’t know the group I’d have been absolutely convinced that it is British. They also introduced some vocals (on 3 songs only) whereas previously their material was purely instrumental. The music is relaxed and very melodic, with strong jazzy undertones and plenty of great solos by the band members. All the music was composed by the group’s two founding members and is remarkably strong. In short this album should appeal to most Prog lovers, not only those who are familiar with the band’s original output.
