Review

Gerard is the oldest japanese prog' band among the present ones. This trio (keyboards/bass/drums), created in the early eighties, has recently released four albums with Musea, "The pendulum", "Pandora's box" , "Meridian", and a "live in Marseille" was recorded during its european tour in 1998. Gerard's leader is the keyboardist Toshio EGAWA, ex-Novela, Scheherazade, Earthshaker…The album: To describe the preceding albums by the band, we often said: "Imagine E.L.P. playing hard-rock". These three professional musicians, astounding virtuosos, combine bombastic keyboards, a bass sometimes used for solis, like keyboards, with a guitar sound, and an incredible drummer. But this time Gerard's fury is more contrasted and subtle, as the band allows itself some peaceful, symphonic and nostalgic moments that underline the music's power. Well balanced and structured, these seven pieces, mostly instrumental ( except two songs, by a new singer), are the most mature the band ever composed: just brilliant.
