Ocarinah re-release of Premiere Vision De L’Étrange is a bold return to the space‑progressive roots of late‑1970s French prog. Across five expansive tracks the band delivers a masterclass in dynamic contrast, thematic development and instrumental daring — a record that feels both timeless and freshly strange. Recorded with a raw, immediate production that recalls vintage live tape, Premiere Vision De L’Étrange blends the loose, exploratory spirit of Canterbury progressive rock with the atmospheric breadth of cosmic jazz and space‑rock. The moon is a constant presence here: lunar imagery and nocturnal moods inform shifting tonal palettes, from silvery, reverb‑drenched motifs to thunderous, claustrophobic grooves.
Premiere Vision De L’Étrange is a sleeper in the truest sense: not flashy, but relentless in craft and imagination. Fans of late‑70s progressive experiments, Canterbury‑adjacent ensembles, and modern bands pushing vintage frameworks will find much to discover. Ocarinah invites listeners to surrender to the record’s orbit — strange, luminous, and inexorably magnetic.
