LE DERNIER MOT

RUNE 124

After 10 years of work, Philharmonie disbanded 10/97. They had written & rehearsed all the material for a new release, & once we heard the rough demos, we suggested that they record The Last Word. The music features the amazing, instantly recognizable string interplay that all their albums feature, with the performances generally slanted towards the heavier sound of their previous CD, Rage. A great record that gives their many fans a chance to say a final farewell to a band with "a very fresh & different twist on the borderline King Crimson/Rock In Opposition genre"-Audion THIS TITLE IS OUT OF PRINT
RAGE

RUNE 84

Rage is by far the most aggressive purely "rock" release yet from a band that Guitar Player called "technically remarkable", and should appeal greatly to fans of King Crimson multi-textural progressive rock.
"...a trio of top-flight guitarists with a sharp sense of melody and impeccable stylistic influences."-i/e.
NORD

RUNE 64

After The Elephant Bell Ringers they added a drummer (Jean-Louis Boutin), whose whose light touch on Nord gives them an even broader array of musical color.
LES ELEPHANTS CARILLONNEURS

RUNE 54

Les Elephants Carillonneurs [The Elephant Bell Ringers] features tight, well-written, pointillistic compositions, performed by 3 guitar masters. Very rich and very "progressive" too, with lots of Fripp-ish fuzz lead lines snaking about.
