Abus Dangereux ~ France

I do own their debut and one of these days I'll get a review up for it.

Bis (1982)

Abus Dangereux's sophomore effort is a light and breezy fusion with xylophone and bass as the lead instruments of choice. If it weren't for the occasional intensity of the bass, then this would be entirely too lightweight to stand. Somewhere between Pierre Moerlin's Gong and "smooth jazz" ala Spyro Gyra or The Yellowjackets. As a friend states: "It's tepid as heck, in fact". YUP!

No reissues as of 3/18/25.

9/18/19 (review / new entry)
