Listen to Mets tes lunettes et écoute comme ça sent bon – Vol. 2

Originally released is 1979, the French outfit Coincidence make an indelible impression with these bold fusion of jazz, rock, and funk ideas that are never short on rhythm and melody.

The bright mood of “L’autre Face” starts the record with Joel Allouche’s acrobatic drumming amid Jean-Claude Llabador’s buzzing keys via the fusion landscape, and “Miroir” follows with guitar melodies thanks to Jean-Claude and Jean-Pierre Llabador’s meticulous playing.

Further along, “A Toi, A Moi” offers a quirky and lively moment that benefits from Michel Montoyat’s frisky bass, while “Exil N 1” uses intimate guitar and some classic rock nods for the rich album highlight.

Landing near the end, the warm and groove filled “Tu Parles” is dance floor ready and full of detailed songwriting, and “Cote Cour, Cote Jardin” exits with a dynamic interaction that puts Jacky Cataldo’s percussion to good use.

A highly creative affair that allows for reach member’s talents to shine, all 9 tracks are timeless, unpredictable and sure have aged well.
