TALES

"STONEHENGE FOR ETERNITY"

Somewhere in Time Records & Music Publishing

Tales, the artistic name of Jean-Luc Hervé Berthelot, attacks once again. After his Pictures of Asia, the french musician approaches us with a new ambient work of the best quality. Stonehenge for Eternity is an album with remarkable and varied stylistic textures that mix the Eastern magic with industrial coldness, or the meditative airs with electronic experimentation. This is a somewhat darker work yet a more mature, intriguing one than the previous release. Synthesizers displaying basically analogic sounds, guitars and percussion, are the basic ingredients that give shape to that electronic cocktail that looks backwards, back to the ancient past. Nine themes inspired on the stones of the famous megalithic monument, and that, as couldn't be otherwise, take us into the mysteries of uncountable, fantastic legends. No doubt, this is a disquieting album, highly reccommended to those who seek something more on the line of current electronic ambient.
