Minimum Vital

Progressif Rock since 1982

Pavanes

"Minimum Vital have released the awesome Sarabandes and Esprit d'Amor, and Pavanes is almost as good. Pavanes, it's great folk and medieval music. For all fans of Gryphon, Jethro Tull or Mike Oldfield, here it is. From the groovy Ende Limbo, Le Tourdion and Chanter Toujours, the more rock Rodéo or Javary & Montago and the totally folk songs Soleil Dén, Suite Ibérique, Folkish or L'Enfance Des Sages. And more, it's a double album. Two discs, and theres no weak songs. The only default is that i'm not a big fan of medieval and folk music, so a double album of this sound it's a little bit too much for me. But it's still great, and the musicians are awesome."
