"Catharsis" also offers an ethereal overture with electronic flickers which cajole the shadows of a synth and its momentums of voices, at both Berber and suggestive. A slow rhythm settles. Progressing with the weight of the orchestrations, it deviates little by little towards a mid-tempo with a melody woven of earworm. The pace is catchy and the scenery lush, like a festive evening in Tunisia. In a setting of world music with a vast sampling of tribal percussions, Berber guitars, Arabic flutes, evocative voices, and especially orchestrations which transport us like on flying carpets over lush soundscapes, this last album of the French musician owns some jewels that will glue us to our headphones."
