R Michael Jacobs Jr Just turned on to Masal and I'm hooked. Have listened to Paysages six times, straight through and want more. I haven't felt this way about a new discovery for a decade. Bought Ahora and Galgal as well with identical results. Still want more. Viva Masal...

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I've bought my first "Masal" album ("Light") quite some time ago, and, unfortunately, didn't pay much attention to it. Bad mistake! Jean-Paul Prat's music is so tricky, clever, and demanding that I could listen to it all day long! This is true for "Light", which I'm revisiting now, as well as for this wonderful chamber music sequence "Paysages du ciel", which is part of my Bandcamp Friday 10/2022 package. I'm so stunned that I couldn't help adding "Viens de quatre vents" to my collection today. Favorite track: Paysages du Ciel IV.

I like this album because it's simply MAGNIFICENT... thanks, Masal... I have several favorite tracks but it's impossible here to name more than one ! Favorite track: Beyond the Garden's gate.

about

'Paysages du Ciel' ( Landscapes of Heaven) is both a step up and a new beginning.
A step up because it showcases Jean-Paul Prat's music as never before, with a dream set-up of 49 musicians: piano, bass, drums, marimba, xylophone, 2 saxophones, 2 guitars, violin, 6 brass instruments and a string orchestra of 33 musicians. A new beginning because everything you could have imagined with the two quintet albums is now very real, reconnecting with the magnificent first album, 'Jean-Paul Prat -Masal' (1982) and going even further, especially thanks to the strings. This is highly coloured music, both powerful and soft, which takes us on a tour of our own inner depths.
It is also a step up due to the precision of the composer's writing, interweaving melodies and rhythm like a musical goldsmith to serve bold harmony with measured dissonances.
