From Lyon, France, the debonair guys from PoiL return with this augmented chamber-rock ensemble, fronted by two female vocalists. This album, like the Le Grand Sbam debut album, Le Vaisseau Monde, is a mind-bogglingly rehearsal-intensive stretch of music intent on stretching every boundary. The vocal arrangements are intricate and unusual, the ensemble work is fragmented but always deliberate and meticulously arranged. That there is a place and situation in which musicians can work so intensively to create something so musically superhuman and stratospherically creative makes me extremely, extremely happy. The album is dominated by the 19-minute tour de force "Le Trace" and the 31-minute even-more-tour-de-force "Yi Yin." Both are through-composed and finely detailed. Two other 5-minute "miniatures" for piano and vocal ensemble are substantial works on their own. The playing is top echelon classical performance level. Is Antoine Arnera the greatest living rock keyboardist? I can't see why not.
