\"Om<\/div>\n

Curieusement, autant il ne m’avait fallu que quelques \u00e9coutes (3) d\u00e8s sa sortie pour d\u00e9clarer que ‘Variations on a Theme’ \u00e9tait un classique, autant je ne sais toujours pas quoi penser de celui-ci. Bien s\u00fbr, je suis fan, il m’a emball\u00e9 d\u00e8s la premi\u00e8re \u00e9coute, mais il faut \u00eatre sourd pour ne pas se rendre compte qu’il est bien plus in\u00e9gal, tout en lui ressemblant presque comme deux gouttes d’eau, que son pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseur.<\/p>\n

Un soup\u00e7on d’honn\u00eatet\u00e9 me pousse \u00e0 me demander si on aurait fait tout ce charivari autour d\u00a0\u00bbAt Giza’ si c’\u00e9tait un autre groupe de stoner \u00e0 la moindre envergure qui l’avait compos\u00e9. Car tout comme le morceau de l’avant dernier EP de 5ive, ‘At Giza’ rappelle fortement ‘Set the controls for the heart of the sun’ du Floyd. Mais voil\u00e0 (la subjectivit\u00e9 reprenant rapidement le dessus, faut pas d\u00e9conner, je suis une groupie), ce sont 2 mecs qui ont quasiment form\u00e9 cette sc\u00e8ne stoner\/doom qui sortent ce morceau et comme avec toutes leurs pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes r\u00e9alisations (sauf The Sabians mais j’y reviendrais), ils font \u00e7a avec la classe et le talent.
\nUn morceau \u00e0 la dur\u00e9e moyenne convenable de 15 minutes, \u00e0 la progression \u00e9pique, on plane plus que jamais au son de cette r\u00e9p\u00e9titivit\u00e9 port\u00e9e par une basse sans saturation, un chant apais\u00e9 quasi-m\u00e9canique, \u00e9voquant lointainement des mantras et les percussions venant s’ajouter la cr\u00e9ation de ce rythme tribal d’un batteur rod\u00e9 \u00e0 l’exercice depuis l’\u00e9preuve de force que fut Dopesmoker. Planant, c\u00e9leste, les qualificatifs d’\u00e9vasions ne manquent pas de jaillir \u00e0 l’\u00e9coute (qui peut se r\u00e9p\u00e9ter ind\u00e9finiment) de ce morceau qui, finalement, n’est qu’une \u00e9ni\u00e8me resuc\u00e9e des exp\u00e9rimentations psych\u00e9d\u00e9liques et free jazz des 60\/70’s, mais jou\u00e9e avec la classe de deux mecs passionn\u00e9s et int\u00e8gres.<\/p>\n

Je parlais d’in\u00e9galit\u00e9 tout \u00e0 l’heure, elle s’impose sur la dur\u00e9e quand vient le tour de ‘Flight of the Eagle’ de d\u00e9buter. Second morceau le plus long du duo, mais aussi le moins excitant (\u00e7a ne me co\u00fbte pas tant que \u00e7a de le dire finalement), son principal d\u00e9faut est de suivre ‘At Giza’. Les fans ne seront pas d\u00e9pays\u00e9s mais n’auront m\u00eame pas la pointe de surprise ou de d\u00e9lectation que l’on \u00e9prouve \u00e0 l’\u00e9coute d’un nouvel album tant attendu d’un artiste qu’on adore, lorsque l’on reconna\u00eet sa patte tout en entendant de nouvelles cr\u00e9ations dont on ne sait pas quoi encore penser. Non, l\u00e0, ils auront juste l’impression d’entendre le disque pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, avec une meilleure production, un poil plus limpide mais un poil plus d\u00e9lay\u00e9e aussi.
\nAlors, oui, c’est toujours un bon morceau, mais devant l’originalit\u00e9’ du titre d’ouverture, n’aurait-il pas \u00e9t\u00e9 plus int\u00e9ressant de continuer \u00e0 surprendre, plut\u00f4t que retomber imm\u00e9diatement dans ses travers ?<\/p>\n

Om est un groupe \u00e0 fans, ceux qui comme moi se d\u00e9lecteront de leur r\u00e9p\u00e9titivit\u00e9 sonique pouss\u00e9e d’un album \u00e0 sa discographie compl\u00e8te, mais les autres tireront-ils le m\u00eame plaisir \u00e0 \u00e9couter sans cesse le m\u00eame disque ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
