CATHERINE RIBEIRO + ALPES AME DEBOUT
Media : LP
Label : PHILIPS
Press : 6332 017

Magnificent as always!
The wind is blowing, Catherine is singing and the music reaches new levels. It is touching and dark just like Nick Drake. Still it is so experimental and it works really good. Many worlds come together on this album.

Led by Patrice Moullet, ALPES was founded in 1970 with Catherine Ribeiro as the lead singer. A very original band, highly prolific throughout the 70's and still alive. Their music is rather experimental and hard to define and involves folk, progressive and improvisation. Patrice Moullet is the inventor of several musical instruments amongst which include the "Cosmophone" and the "Percuphone". In a similar vocal style to Brigitte Fontaine, Catherine Ribeiro's low voice tone may also evoke Nico at times and is theatrical and declamatory. There's often an intense dramatic tension in the singing. The debut albums are the best, and "Paix", with its two long suites, is considered the most progressive and is the best one to start with.
