In the promo letter to the CD as well as on CDDB the third track is called "L'art et la manière", but in the CD booklet it's called "Les Mots pour le dire".

Guillaume De La Pilière is the singer from French band Versailles. He released his debut solo album "Contes Des Sous-Bois" (Musea FGBG 4230 CD) in 1997, and "Psychédéléidoscope" is his newly released follow up.

He plays all the instruments on this CD: Drums, Bass, Keyboards, Guitars and the Vocals.

The music is influenced by the seventies psychedelic and progressive rock with reminiscences to Pink Floyd.

On the opening track there's a lot of eastern/oriental influences in the same vein as Swedish band In The Labyrinth. This track is also the highlight of the album with its +14 minutes. A rather interesting album with some originality.
