Nemo’s latest album starts off with a nice symphonic rock instrumental. Second part of “Douce Mort” is equally strong on the instrumental side, but once again the vocals don’t reach the same level and the French language doesn’t match. A pity, ‘cause the Nemo music is growing without doubt: versatile, sometimes reminding of Transatlantic and containing some classic hard rock elements. Especially in the long tracks the versatility of JP Louveton’s compositions can be admired. No wonder that the first and the last track are by far the strongest on the album. ”Miroirs” rocks but the power is not maintained despite the intriguing synthesizer and guitar solos and alas the vocals are very irritating. The same should be said about “Si”, a slowly starting beautiful composition which is totally ruined by both lead and backing vocals. But “Apprentice Sorciers” is a beauty and deserves a place among the great progressive and symphonic rock compositions with now and again some Yes elements, great drumming and gorgeous guitars. But please, please… will somebody ask them to stop singing? This music deserves so much better!
