Description
Ilous & Decuyper – Same (France-Flamophone, 1972)
That’s what “Scented Gardens Of The Mind by Dag Erik Asbjørnsen” wrote about this album: “A duo that really caught the remaining hippie spirit circa on their brilliant album. Often written off as a Crosby, Stills & Nash sound-alike, their material was much more imaginative, both in the production and arrangements. Starting with the harmony vocals, CS&N were far from the only ones using them. Ilous & Decuyper's intricate harmony and chorus overdubs had as much in common with The Hollies, Beach Boys and The Beatles. Their acoustic and electric guitars prevail, occasionally joined by keyboards and the rhythm section of Systeme Crapoutchik.
The stand-out track is an imaginative version of "Eleanor Rigby" with a stunning lead guitar guest performance by Jean-Pierre Alarcen. Tracks such as "Vous Mourrez Demain'', "Berceuse" and "Mélancolie" have something in common with the pastoral, lazy atmosphere of the short songs on Pink Floyd's More and Atom Heart Mother or McCartney's Ram. "Beurk!" is almost a cross between "Honky Tonk Woman" and "Drive My Car". A Norwegian nursery rhyme (sung by a female from the Oslo-area, if you need to know!) appeared for some reason at the beginning of "Cor Bucolique", before giving way to a slow instrumental for French horn (an instrument frequenty used by Martin Circus), acoustic guitar and birdsong. Throughout there is creative use of studio effects (strange echoes, warbled Leslie-sounds and double-tracking). Most important of all, the songwriting is on a par with several major artists. An unpretentious album, full of happy spirits, that will be mauled by the cynics!”
