With the help of his family, he financed the project - he hired Venus studio at Longueville (50 km from Paris) for a month. For this album, Norbert Galo and he decided to use one 40 minute long suite for this album. This piece started its life as the song Aubergine, dating from the conservatoire days of Prat in 1972. This piece was later expanded, reworked, linked and integrated with other pieces, all done in various stages and was finally re-named to Masal, like the band name itself.
14 musicians were in the lineup that recorded Masal for the album in July 1982. the double tracking enabled the orchestral sound that the album has.
In 1983, Prat finds a small label, Ere Force, who belongs to a larger company called Stand By, which agrees to distribute Masal.
Music:
The scope of Masal is as extensive as Prat's instruments he plays on.
The album Masal with its 42 minute long suite covers a lot of grounds - there are elements from zeuhl, symphonic-rock, jazz-rock, avant-rock; and while it is debatable which is the leading characteristic, each has an emphasized role in this orchestral piece and all are well represented throughout its run. It is this broad range of sound to be found here that has lead to this project being included in PA under the Eclectic tag, as this is truly an amalgam of styles, a fabulous mélange of genres and sounds.
While this blending of styles might sound forced, you'll be surprised just how smoothly and naturally the mix sound and the shifting between parts are. The inclusion of brass instruments alongside the rock instrumentation gives this album, along with the composition style of Prat, its uniqueness, volume and rich sound.
This album will find its audience in the fans of all aforementioned genres. Its richness and compelling sound, its structure and instrumentation, all culminate in a wonderfully built and composed piece of varied music.- Assaf Vestin
