Let's embark once again for the most mysterious of trips, the most beautiful of the walks. Let us carry over the notes following the unpredictable movement of an ocean more than capricious. The pace is accelerating, the melody is growing like a swell day of strong wind in the Iroise Sea … then comes the calm after the storm, leaving again appear the sweetness and finesse of the 9 compositions and arrangements of this musical masterpiece.

The French synth-pop band Space had international hits with their 1977 dance numbers "Carry on Turn Me On" and "Magic Fly," leading to a deal with Casablanca Records and gold records for the band's songwriter and leader Didier Marouani…

This is a live recording and the audience show their extreme pleasure between pieces as they should. The playing is exemplary: Squiban combines classicism with jazz and ethereal material but the beauty of it is that he joins all these styles together seamlessly. It is impossible to be bored by his playing as you never quite know what he'll insert next. The music is calming and powerful, enlivening and superior. If you like piano music then I would urge you to try and obtain this disc. I feel honoured to own it and can only dream of seeing the man play for real some day. Brilliant!

Didier Bonin's second private LP . Meditative cosmic electronics , more electronic orientated than first with the long (14:00 min.) track "parti du pli" that was intended for a Ballet performance.
