[…] An adventure made by not so mad scientists, dexterous art for people whose instincts are linked to their every day curiosity. »*** Philippe DETHY ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------On stage, the bitter-sweet cocktail of these unlikely ingredients form incandescent, visionary, sometimes self mocking and ironic moments which combine hard jazz rock with lyrical and sensual ballads, drifting melody and wild improvisation (cfr. Animus/Anima). The concert is like a ride through very varied feelings that combine sharp focus and lyricism. animus anima’s music is the missing link between Pink Floyd and Archie Shepp!...................................................... ./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////.......///////////........++++++++========++ ++++++++++===========++++++++++++++++==============+++++++++ ++++++++============+++++++In September 7 : issue of the first real CD of ANIMUS ANIMA 4et -Le Bénéfice du Doute- with V.Matyn & P.Camus
