New Age / Soundtrack

The concept album Thorgal is filled to the brim with intelligent compositions, well-crafted arrangements, beautiful and heart-rending melodies and a couple of definitely Deep Forest-sounding tunes. And unlike many "new-age" albums, the music of Thorgal never fails to find the delicate balance between soothing ambiences, irresistible melodies and powerful rhythms.
Besides the mesmerizing rhythm loops, gorgeous synthetic backwashes, twinkling electronic noises and ominous sampled chants, you will also find plenty of acoustic guitars, pianos, flutes, pipes and violins, all very competently and brilliantly used for the instrumental passages.
Relentless synthetic drums and drones more or less dominate the entire bottom end of the sonic spectrum, while the complex melodies are flawlessly performed by crystal clear and angelic female voices. On tracks like "Jolan" and "Louve", the overdubbed voices are not just plain beautiful but simply spine-chilling. Except for the track "Shaïgan sans merci" with its suggestive narration, all male voices are heavily transformed, warbled, synthesized and vocoded. All the lyrics are in French (except for the chorus of the track "Aaricia", which for some reason is partly in English), and the entire album is indeed very French sounding.
Hardly any of the tracks fall short of being complete masterpieces of their own. There are one or two slightly cheesy tracks ("La Mémoire des Vivants") and one apparently unfinished song ("Les Elfes"), but they are more than well compensated by the rest of the songs containing unexpected turns and twists and totally irresistible hooks.
I find it hard to understand why this album should be so difficult to find in stores outside France - surely it must appeal to a much larger audience than readers of the Thorgal comic series. What the composers of the Thorgal album (mainly Éric Mouquet, Philippe Malempré and Henri-Denis Golenvaux) managed to create is a highly impressing musical project, far greater than the comic series itself and definitely more successful than any other similar projects I have heard so far.
I can't really find anything wrong with this album and if I could give it more than five stars, I would gladly do so.
