4 Visions deserves to be ranked among the best of continental Europe's progressive albums. I found very little similarities with Magma (more with Gong, actually). Eskaton's compositions (i.e., Marc Rozenberg's ones) were more avantgarde in concept and lighter in mood. The first thing to strike you in the leading track, [Eskaton], is the operatic vocals; then the stirring, demonic beat, reminiscent of early Popol Vuh's witches' sabbath; then the "comic" touches, half cabaret and half Dada. Possibly the climax of the album, [Ecoute] simply extends the experiments on these elements, turning voices into instruments and keyboards into voices, letting rhythms overturn melodies and melodies break rhythms. Four long tracks that remind us of how imposing the french tradition is.
