New progressive rock album launching outside Canada



Quebec City – After been introduced into canadian retail stores in 2006, this new album is actually available into USA, Europe and Asia markets.

Private composer over the last 25 years, this canadian musician had just released his first solo album.

“Falling back to where I began” is an instrumental prog album ( but the presence of nice melody lines replaces vocals very well), very spacey and mystical, that makes reference to major events of everybody’s life. This is really a concept album as all 8 pieces go together with the same music, sound line and “mood”. Robert Beriau’s music is a fusion of progressive rock, jazz and classical, where he takes the best of each, (like spacey groove of progressive rock merged with grave, slow and pondereus movements in classical and speedy guitar notes from jazz) without their less appreciate aspects ( brass timbre in classical and speedy envelope in free jazz)

It offers a pretty dosage of synthetizer, acoustical piano and guitar, electric guitar with special effects ( re-routed sometimes within sythns) and a subtile use of saxophones that reflects the declared influence from Van der Graaf Generator.

Two pieces request an outstanding mention and will stay remembered as “a classic“:

Ø the superb early entry of this introductory track, “Anyone’s Life: A Humble Story in Mankind”, is a powerfull melodic piece, with magnificent “conterpoints” (superposition of many melodic lines) done by mellotron, “staccato” piano, electric guitar, phasered saxophones and synthetizers. The crescendo at the end of the song is charged with emotion.

Ø The Cycle of Love: Part 1 to 4”, is a 25 minutes masterpiece as it sounded in the early seventies, where slowly building patterns, surrounded by sound-effects, creating unique, textural and theatral music. Unique guitar sounds, mellotron



and bass delayed, pushed by power drums, create magical moments in well placed situations. Listening this piece is like riding a water wave, with slow dark peacefull movements with screaming saxs and melodic piano (The Cycle of Love Part 2: Teen Pain) growing slowy to high and percuttant point ( Part 4: Home: An Empty Nest) with heavy distorted guitar on a dark jazzy rhythm finally ending on a accoustical grand piano and bass ( where bass is leading the melody !) supported by alto voices.
