 '\r\n'
 'One of my favorite symphonic progressive bands is the band Atoll. Creating a '
 'music that owed much to Yes and Genesis, yet again remaining distinctly '
 'French, Atoll were a talented ensemble who showed a finesse with dynamic and '
 'melodic arrangements. Their debut Musiciens-Magiciens is an excellent '
 'example of their music, rich in synthesizer textures and dynamic rhythms and '
 'featuring another strong French vocal presence - Andre Balzer. 1975 featured '
 "L'Araignee-Mal, a concept album which added a good violin player and moved a "
 'little toward fusion realms, while remaining distinctly symphonic. Maybe the '
 'one most of you would like best is their third Tertio. Probably the closest '
 'album France had to a Yes album, the fusion direction was substantially '
 'altered and a lusher sound enveloped. Tertio is a startling display of '
 'symphonic rock and the album\'s best cut "Tunnel," a veritable menagerie of '
 "key and time changes, gives no better indication as to this. Atoll's fourth "
 'Rock Puzzle while also good moved closer to a more commercial style of prog '
 'rock, with shorter songs with verses and choruses. After a complilation '
 'Cosmic Trips Atoll "reformed" in the late 80\'s with a completely different '
 "line-up, only featuring Christian Beya (who joined on L'Araignee-Mal) from "
 "the 70's line-up. Two albums followed both being a Japanese-styled "
 'neo-progressive (and highly pop-oriented) that are poor successors to their '
 "70's releases. (L'Ocean and Tokyo C'est Fini a live album.) -- Mike "
 'McLatchey \r\n'
 '\r\n'
 'Atoll was one of the best known French prog bands, they had several albums '
 'to their credit. Their sound is a little more agressive than other frenchies '
 'of the period like Ange and Pulsar, with pretty much a style of their own. '
 'Their singer tends to get annoying, though, which is why their best albums '
 'are the ones where they stretch out instrumentally the most and are not '
 "confined to the song format: L'Araignee and Tertio are clearly their best. "
 "They reformed in the late 80's (with only guitarist Christian Beya from the "
 "original band lineup) and released two more albums: L'Ocean and Tokyo, C'est "
 "Fini-Live. I have L'Ocean and it's not that hot. \r\n"
 '\r\n'
 'The two pieces from Musiciens Magiciens were wonderful. If you like Close to '
 'the Edge-era Yes, you will like this album. My only complaint is that the '
 'drums were recorded too weakly in some sections of "Le Baladin...." The '
 'second tune, "Au Dela...," has some similarities to Nektar\'s Recycled, but '
 "only good similarities. (I'm not a big Nektar fan myself.) I'm going to buy "
 "this album. The two pieces from Tertio were less impressive. The band's "
 'sound has changed here. If you close your eyes and ignore the singing, you '
 'could easily mistake this album for Camel (circa Nude). The music is not as '
 'dynamic as the tunes from Musiciens Magiciens, but not bad. \r\n'
 '\r\n'
 "Atoll's beginning's can be traced back to February 1972 when Luc Serra and "
 'Jean Luc Thillot pulled out their acoustic guitars and played while riding '
 'on a train from Paris to their home town of Metz, France. Along for the ride '
 "was Alain Gozzo, who would become Atoll's drummer. By the time the band were "
 'ready to record their first album, they had added Andre Balzar on vocals and '
 'Michel Taillet on keyboards, vibes, percussion and backing vocals. Thillot '
 'switched to bass but also occasionally contributed 12-string guitar as well '
 'as backing vocals. The quintet released Musiciens-Magiciens in November '
 '1974, which included guest flute and sax played by Laurent Gianez. Luc '
 'Serra\'s guitar solo on "Le Berger" could have come from a Buffalo '
 'Springfield album, and the vocals also occasionally recalled the California '
 "country-rock style, one of the band's early passions. Even so, the "
 'progressive elements were obvious as these songs were more evolved and '
 'intricate than standard CSN&Y fare. Atoll, in true progressive rock style, '
 'also wrote a three-part, eleven minute composition called "Le Baladin du '
 'Temps." The style of the song lands somewhere between the complexity of Yes '
 'and the dramatic style of Ange. With the opening theme, a middle development '
 'and exposition, and a reprise of the main theme, Atoll revealed themselves '
 'to be serious and talented musicians who only needed a little polish to take '
 "off off the rough edges. Perhaps the song that best reveals the young band's "
 'talent is "Je Suis D\'Ailleurs," with it\'s many fluid transitions among '
 'several complex themes and variations.\r\n'
 'After Musiciens-Magiciens was released, the band went through personnel '
 'changes that ultimately strengthened the band. Serra was replaced by '
 'guitarist Christian Beya. Atoll also wanted to add further depth and color '
 'to their sound, so added Richard Aubert on violin. Stylistically, Atoll '
 'shifted toward a more aggressive fusion direction, highlighting the '
 'interplay between Beya, Aubert and Taillet. Atoll released their second '
 "album, L'Araignee-Mal in December, 1975. L'Araignee-Mal (The Evil Spider) is "
 "a stunning concept album, with a tight and well-defined style. The album's "
 'opener, "Le Photographie Exorciste," still reveals Yes\'s influence, as the '
 'ending creates a dense, battle-like atmosphere reminiscent of "Relayer." The '
 'fusion aspect is strongest, however, and "Cozotte N.1" and "Le Voleur '
 'D\'extase" evoke Mahavishnu Orchestra circa Visions of the Emerald Beyond, '
 'with dizzying duels between guitar, synth and violin. Despite the "evil" or '
 '"bad" thread that unites the album, the music is actually very melodic, '
 'uplifting and expressively dramatic. Nowhere is this more evident than the '
 'side long title suite. Voracious violin, gutsy guitar, and searing synth '
 'work meld to create a mind-blowing blend of fusion and symphonic prog. Not '
 'to be outdone by the other musicians is Gozzo, who rose to a much higher '
 "talent plateau with these recordings. His drumming, against Thillot's "
 "excellent bass work, is formidable. In my mind, L'Araignee Mal stands as the "
 "pinnacle of Atoll's work and is an essential for any prog collection.\r\n"
 'Somewhat to their detriment, Atoll decided to head in a symphonic direction '
 'and asked Aubert to leave the band. Gone then were the depth and color added '
 'by his violin, the very reasons they asked him to join in the first place! '
 'Tertio was released in October 1977 and, although the funk fusion groove '
 'occasionally reared its head, the music was definitely more symphonic. From '
 'the Wakemen-like synth break in "Les Dieux Meme" to the overall Yes-like '
 'theme that opens "Gae Lowe (Le Duel)," the comparison to Yes is never far '
 "away. In addition to the change in style, Atoll's compositions became more "
 'concise, with most songs in the five minute range, although "Tunnel Part I" '
 'and "Tunnel Part II" combine to a total of nearly 14 minutes. And, to '
 'further define the change, the driving power of the fusion engine was '
 "replaced with more intricate compositions. Balzar's powerful and dramatic "
 'vocal style, not used very effectively on Musiciens-Magiciens, is very '
 'expressive on "Le Cerf-Volant" which, when combined with the Tony '
 'Banks-styled synth work, falls somewhere between Ange and Genesis in style. '
 '"Gae Lowe (Le Duel)" doesn\'t work as well_ the duel exists between a funky '
 'fusion groove and the afore-mentioned symphonic themes and the two never '
 'resolve fully. The two-part "Tunnel," however, is a hallmark of Atoll\'s '
 'symphonic period, a delightful masterpiece with many complex melodies and '
 'excellent solos by Beya and Taillet. Gozzo once again displays his excellent '
 "chops with his best performance on this album. And, if that isn't enough, "
 'Stella Vander (of Magma) and Lisa Deluxe add feminine backing vocals for '
 'depth.\r\n'
 'Rock Puzzle was released in September of 1979. The members remained the same '
 "from Tertio to this album, but Atoll's fourth release marks the beginning of "
 "the decline of band. At the insistence of the band's label, Eurodisk, Atoll "
 'streamlined their sound, and included rock numbers, ballads and even '
 'disco-styled songs in their repertoire. To add fuel to the fire, the label '
 'added strings and horns to further commercialize the sound. "L\'ultima Rock" '
 'is a very straighforward rocker with a too obvious brass section added in, '
 'and "Garces de Femmes" is another uptempo rock number. Contrast these to the '
 'string section added to the ballad "Kaelka," which begins with cheesy fake '
 'bird sounds. "Eau (H20)" alternates between gentle acoustic guitar and '
 'rockier passages. Although it has a proggy feel, it also borders too close '
 'to becoming a mere "power ballad." The worst is the danceable '
 '"Smarto-Kitschy," with it\'s disco-styled beat and layered, syrupy string '
 'section. This song was actually remixed as "Atari! That\'s a Game" and used '
 'as the theme music to a game show based on Atari video games! If it were '
 'only a couple of minutes long, "Smarto-Kitschy" would be acceptable as '
 '"tongue-in-cheek" fun but at nearly eight minutes it is purely painful. Rock '
 'Puzzle does have a few redeeming songs: "L\'Age d\'or," "La Maison de '
 'Men-Taa" and "Puzzle." The first is very progressive, despite the '
 'streamlining. The second is very concise and direct but contains expressive '
 'soloing from Beya, as well as some wonderful atmospheric synth work from '
 'Taillet. "Puzzle" is the standout and is an excellent cut, in the vein of '
 'Tertio\'s "Tunnel." And, once again, it features the vocal talents of Stella '
 'Vander and Lisa Deluxe. The CD reissue contains several bonus tracks, '
 'including remixes of "L\'ultima Rock" and "Puzzle," as well as the Atari '
 "theme song mentioned above. Atoll was not satisfied with Eurodisk's "
 'promotion of any of their albums and opted out of their contract with the '
 'label after the release of Rock Puzzle. Eurodisk attempted to cash in on '
 'whatever popularity Atoll had gained around the world and released Cosmic '
 'Trips, a compilation album.\r\n'
 'Internal tensions in the band finally caused a serious rift and many members '
 'bailed out. Eventually, Atoll was reduced to a quartet of Gozzo, Taillet, '
 'Jean-Jacques Flety on guitar and Didier Lozano on bass. Earlier, Gozzo had '
 "met John Wetton at a UK concert and approached him about producing Atoll's "
 "fifth album. After hearing a tape of L'araignee Mal, Wetton agreed. After "
 'working out new compositions, Atoll went in search of a vocalist. '
 'Eventually, they asked Wetton to sing but he also wanted to play bass, so '
 'Lozano left Atoll to make room for Wetton. This formation went into the '
 'studio and recorded three tracks, which are included as bonus tracks on '
 "Musea's Rock Puzzle reissue. Polydor, who were courting Atoll, were "
 'negotiated with EG, who had Wetton under contract, but they reached a '
 'stalemate. After a period of time and with negotiations making no headway, '
 'Wetton could no longer wait and joined Asia. The irony is that the first '
 'bonus track on Rock Puzzle from the "Wetton-era" Atoll is the Wetton-penned '
 '"Here Comes the Feeling," which was to appear on the first Asia album. Even '
 'the two remaining songs, written by Atoll, were very much prototypical '
 "Asia-type songs, thanks to Wetton's influence. With the news that Wetton "
 'joined Asia, Atoll folded up until the late 1980s, when Christian Beya '
 'attempted to revive the name. This new Atoll recorded one studio album, '
 "L'Ocean, plus released a live album, Tokyo, C'est Fini, which was culled "
 "from a live Japanese tour in support of L'Ocean. I have only heard "
 '"Metamorphose" from this period, which is included on Musea\'s Enchantment '
 'sampler. "Metamorphose" features Beya on acoustic and electric guitars and '
 'Andre Teitschaid, who creates a chorus of voices. This is a fairly nice, '
 "textural cut but most of L'Ocean is said to be a mix of rock and pop with "
 'only a hint of prime progressive Atoll of old.\r\n'
 'Atoll, in their short history, released two excellent and very different '
 "albums, L'Araignee-Mal and Tertio. Fusion fans should start with the former "
 'while symphonic fans will prefer the latter. Both are excellent and belong '
 'in any well-rounded progressive rock collection. -- Mike Taylor \r\n'
 '\r\n'
 "Highly regarded French band. I've heard their first three albums. The first "
 'one, Musiciens--Magiciens, is mediocre. Shrill, piercing vocals make it '
 'irritating for a start, but the fact is that none of the songs save the '
 '11-minute "Baladin du Temps" really have any quality that draws the listener '
 "in. It sounds like neo-prog, yet it was made in the mid-70s. L'Araignee-Mal "
 'is a vast improvement on their debut. Adding a violinist to the band and a '
 'touch of fusion to their sound, this is a very exciting album. The vocals '
 'are much improved, going a little loony on "Le Photographe Exorciste" as per '
 'Ange, but for the most part unobtrusive, and most of the music is '
 'instrumental anyway. The drums, unlike the first album, are very strong and '
 'colourful, reminding me of Arti E Mestieri in the faster passages. Keyboards '
 'and violin are also prominent, the former sounding not un-Wakeman-like. The '
 'side-long title track is totally mindblowing_ highly recommended. With their '
 'new-found confidence, the band made Tertio, which is what I believe their '
 'first album ought to have sounded like. Lively keyboards and active drums, '
 'with powerful yet not strident or annoying vocals make this a must-have for '
 'French symphonic prog fans. "Paris, C\'est Fini" and the two-part, 14-minute '
 '"Tunnel" are the high points. There\'s a few more Atoll albums, but they '
 "aren't supposed to be very good. -- Mike Ohman \r\n"

 'Progarchives:\r\n'
 '\r\n'
 'ATOLL were a talented French ensemble who very much carried their own '
 'symphonic sound blending the finer aspects of fellow acts ANGE, PULSAR and '
 'MONA LISA. Their style is very theatrical in nature offering dynamic and '
 'melodic arrangements with some great song writing. Along the topics it is '
 'impossible to avoid the comparisons with GENESIS, YES and MAHAVISHU '
 'ORCHESTRA. The changes of members were another of the characteristics of '
 'this group who counted John WETTON among their members.\r\n'
 '\r\n'
 'ATOLL, in their short history, released two excellent and very different '
 'albums. Recorded in 1974, "Musiciens-Magiciens" is mediocre. In my mind, '
 '"L\'Araignee Mal" (1975) stands as the pinnacle of ATOLL\'s work and is an '
 'essential for any prog collection. They add a violinist to the band and a '
 'touch of fusion to their sound, this is a very exciting album. "Tertio" (3rd '
 "album) features their exploration into the symphonic world of France's 70's "
 'progressive rock genre. Highly regarded French band. \r\n'

 'The French equivalent of prog-rock bands Yes and Genesis, Atoll recorded '
 "four albums in the mid- to late '70s with a lineup that stabilized by the "
 "time of the group's second album. L'Araignee Mal (1975) included "
 'vocalist/percussionist André Balzer, guitarist Christian Beya, bassist '
 'Jean-Luc Thillot, keyboard player Michel Taillet, and drummer Alain Gozzo. '
 'Gradually commercializing its sound beginning with third album Tertio, Atoll '
 'released only one more studio album (plus a compilation) before breaking up. '
 "In the late '80s, however, a new, pop-oriented version appeared. Including "
 "only Beya from the previous lineup, the band released L'Ocean and the live "
 "album Tokyo C'est Fini (both 1989). John Bush")
