he new album is based on the novel "Otherland" by Tad Williams. "The Net" as opener briefly explains the plot and flirts more as a film score. The deep voice of Roby Rinaldetti is supposed to remind of a movie trailer. With the 14-minute opus "Dreaming Awake", we pull out all the stops of musical complexity. This leads to jazzy elements, 80s sounds and very hard riffs. The next two tracks, "No Man's Land" as well as "Behind The Mirror", are a credit to neo-prog without neglecting complicated rhythm lines and catchy choruses. With "Heavenly Visions" we enter a new unprecedented sphere of our musical creation. A progressive firework and a real challenge. Conclusion: TNNE has reinvented itself once again and recorded an exceptional album.

Saxophonist Ferdinand Doumerc, the leader of the French quartet Pulcinella, created his new power trio with keyboard player Bastien Andrieu and drummer Pierre Pollet. Their energy-fueled, melodic electro-jazz is full of catchy and persistent riffs, but also mixed with experimentation. Mowgli gives their passionate interpretation of an imaginary jungle with a frenzy and teeming sound-world.
