Shylock - Ile de

With it's complexity and instrumental richness, it's ability to develop anguishing themes and electric rises and it's overgrowing tension, Shylock has often been compared to KING CRIMSON. Actually, this instrumental combo also belongs to wild and intricate Progressive rock with tormenting atmospheres, but has it's own personality. The latter is expressed through overwhelming lyricism and refined romanticism, a bit like PULSAR. With it's schizoido-electronic dimension, Shylock can also make you think of HELDON. What's more, each musician is a real virtuoso, especially guitarist Frédéric L'EPEE and outstanding drummer André FISICHELLA. As "Gialorgues" (1975) can be considered as a very good debut album, "Ile de Fièvre" (1979) is widely known as an absolute masterpiece. Definite talent !
