JPL
Sapiens, chapitre 3/3 : Actum
Review by Gary Hill
JPL stands for Jean Pierre Louveton. He is the guitarist for the prog band NEMO, and this is his third solo album. The music here is stunning prog rock with a lot of classical music, some jazz and more in the mix. The lyrics are all in his native French, but you don't need to understand what is being sung to appreciate this music. This album is just a stellar ride from start to finish. It has modern prog, the classic variety, fusion and more all mixed into an original and satisfying sonic tapestry. The set opens with some individual tracks and is closed by a five part suite. I would say that when the end of the year comes around this will be a contender to make my "best of 2022" list.
