France's Ange emerged as a creative force in the ‘70s with a sound that drew upon the intellectual and theatric acrobatics of celebrated precursors such as King Crimson and Genesis. They harnessed all the raw energy of the early prog-rock scene and raised the standard with their sweeping passages of rhapsodic organs punctuated by gentle guitar. Ange's music conjures up grand and vivid images, not unlike the fantastical world of long-form poetry. This output can hardly be described with such a simple word as ‘tracks'; perhaps ‘opuses' would be more appropriate.
