The one and only album from this Italian band.
The band was an eight piece big band with a lineup of drums, synths, bass, flute, marimba, glockenspiel, keyboards, percussion, guitars, electric piano and vocals.
St. Tropez is Celeste under a different name. This album has therefore been included in the big Celeste box released some years ago.
The music is not in the same genre as Celeste was and still is.
This album well over an hour long and most of it is space rock. Pure space rock. Then there is some RPI and some fusion. There is also some Camel like symphonic prog here too.
It seems like the band has improvised most of this album. And they have let themselves going out on a tangent.
The music is at times very hard and comes as a shock to those who love Celeste. Me too do that. I got my shock, indeed.
I am also stirred by this album as there is a lot of good things going for it. It also has a good Italian ambience with a laid-back feeling.
The end result is a good album and one to check out. It is indeed a bit of a hidden gem.
