Arachnoid Arachnoid (1979) [reissue 2005]

Arachnoid is a French major progressive band whose music was combined the strengths of other French symphonic groups and dark progressive rock that recalled King Crimson. The dark sound, almost like Univers Zero, is accomplished mostly by melodic structures in the vein of King Crimson's "Larks' Tongues In Apic" and dramatical vocals similar to that of Christian Decamps from Ange. Arachnoid's music express a continuous tension with flashing guitar's parts and tormented keyboards interventions. A unique band with nods to King Crimson, Pulsar, Shylock & Pink Floyd.
