Listening to this now, very good and I will try some of his other albums, very Tangerine Dream! (Do I detect the dulcet tones of a mellatron?)

je remercie jamendo de m avoir fait decouvrir ce groupe qui est a la hauteur des grands ! a decouvrir absolument pour les fans de pink floyd

il y a dans cet album une ampleur symphonique superbe. Du progressive Rock comme j'aime! Le 6ème morceau est fort, d'une ampleur soutenue, les chanteurs se répondent: excellent!

I found out, that DOUG the Eagle has finished his album, "Songs for the Wild-At-Heart". The credits say, it was mastered in 2006, but I don't remember, whether whole album was published -- I'd rather say, only the "DMFA" related part was put on site, while the Author was seeking for decent label to print his record. Anyway, It's release date to the public that counts. As for the music -- Do You remember the double vinyl album "War of the Worlds" (1978 concept album by Jeff Wayne)? It was an audio play of some sort, like radio broadcast story, but on solid record; all made using state-of-the-art radio editing techniques, with music in strongly 'electronicized' progressive rock genre. So are the "Songs for the Wild At Heart". What was composed at first as mere instrumental passages, became background soundtrack for "DMFA Radio shows", then, with use of recorded dialogues, was re-mastered into side B of the album. Those of You, who are already familiar with "Daniel Ti'fiona -- A Warrior for hire", based on Amber (Panyko) Williams's script, will find all the beautiful music themes, and once again immerse in old-school sound textures. This part I have known before, the new thing was side A: Author songs and ballads by the composer, Joseph P. Morris; barely connected with each other, but sharing the same mood and sound quality. Also the texts are worth longer glimpse: They're not 'lyrics' in spe as they tell an 'epic' story, and always are concluded with a moral, which connects the works (though distantly) with rennassaince tradition of masters like Erasmus of Rotterdamm. This record is different, than the sound pulp the radio feeds You usually, it is professionally recorded and has a concept. Any drawbacks? some tunes might use improvised solo, but it really doesn't impare the works. Final rating: seven stars out of ten: a must-have on the shelve.

Ce que j'aime dans le rock progressif ce sont les alternances de climats, un esprit ouvert à l'expérimentation et à la recherche du son, de l'ambiance, du petit "truc" qui va apporter une dimension imprévue et inédite à la musique. Alors voilà, j'ai trouvé tout cela dans cet excellent album qui sonne plus à mes oreilles Genesis première mouture qu'à Pink Floyd.

le premier titre "art follows art" aurait très bien pu être jouer par le plus grand groupe de rock progressif qui n'ai jamais exister les "Pink Floyd" tellement l'ambiance est feutrer et surnaturel...c'est simple un album comme celui qui nous est présenté on aime ou on deteste .....il faut être prèt et ouvert pour apprecier cette ambiance géniale!! et comme disait Roger Waters "Comfortably Numb"......c'est pour dire tous le bien que je pense de ce groupe que je n'hesite pas a comparer au "Floyd" un soupçon de d'experimentation de ceci de la... il manque peut être un petit peu de psychedelisme pour être parfait... et encore que!!! je ne sait dire quel morceaux j'affectionne le plus, car je les aime tous felicitation "DOUG the Eagle"

I like it (almost the 7th track)but i think that the drums are too much linear and repetitive and the voices not very expressives (imo); well i know its not easy :)

This is great music which is very instrumental yet with artistically placed lyrics. This music reminds me of Pink Floyd yet is different in its own way. Very good.
