Charles Kaczynski is a fairly obscure artist who pops up now and again on the internet and then disappears. His debut album Lumière de la Nuit has long been known to collectors as a very good example of the symphonic style of progressive rock. He's basically a one man orchestra here, and the (primarily) instrumental music is beautiful and rich. Though there's a multitude of instruments played by the talented Kaczynski, violin is clearly his instrument of choice. By Side 2, the music begins to become overly familiar, and it's clear Kaczynski could have benefited from the synergy of his peers. The compositions are well written, and it's too bad this was the end of Kaczynski's progressive rock career during the classic era.
Ownership: LP: 1979 private - Light of Night (English edition)
The LP has 2 editions, one in the native French, the other with the English title Light of Night. The CD was also originally pressed privately, and later distributed by ProgQuebec with a sticker affixed with their logo on the back of the digi-pak. As such, there is no history as per protocol for the label.
First entered into the UMR: March 4, 2010 and updated.
