Etron Fou Leloublan, Les Sillons de la Terre (side A)

On 1983's Les Sillons de la Terre, Etron Fou focus on very busy and intricate interplay.  There are still song structures and melodic vocals, but these have a lower priority than the dense and constantly moving arrangements.  Despite the overly sterile sound, where the bass and saxophone particularly lack impact, the music moves nicely, as long as the tempos remain fast.  The few points where they slow down to a ballad-like pace, the frenetic energy is lost and the music definitely suffers.  The simple front cover image with the wolves is great, but the back cover design seems hastily assembled.
