FRENCH TV: " After A Lengthy Silence "
Recent alternative offerings by some of Louisville's really over - the - edge musicians include one of uncommon
balance and ingenuity : " After A Lengthy Silence" by French TV, AKA bassist/composer Mike Sary and
miscellaneous others.

An instrumental outing that is both structurally steady and melodically courageous, it features the hand of local
studio whiz Howie Gano behind the sound board and some sober, clean production. Sary produced the album and
credits himself with most of the writing.

The album contains a late - night strain of almost - jazz that is amiable and inspires active listening. The standout is
saxophonist Clancy Dixon, whose melodic runs are almost conversational.

FRENCH TV: After a Lengthy Silence (LP)
French TV is that unusual phenomenon, an American progressive band. Their music is inspired by middle and late
period King Crimson, though they are far less artsy (read: pretentious) as well as the Canterbury school of progressive
rock and fusion, which included Soft Machine, National Health, Hatfield and the North, etc,. but French TV's sound is
somehow much more American. They might also be likened to some of the New York artists groups such as Jules
Baptiste's Red Decade or Virgil Moorefield from his EP Transformation, who write and perform quirky, hard-hitting
post-modern, progressive, avant jazz rock fusion. French TV's compositions are excellent, the arrangements
inventive, and the playing tight, but not slick; thus a sense of spontaneity and vitality remains. Melodies tend to be
angular and slightly pungent, and the rhythms are punchy and driving. When the various members take solos, they
are well thought out and smartly executed. No flashy, empty displays or histrionics here, just solid music making.
French TV is one hot band. (Y Records)--------Dean Suzuki/OPTION

FRENCH TV: After a Lengthy Silence
An instrumental collection of art-jazz-rock that alternates between periods of fusion and reflection. There are four
short and two long workouts which are not vibrantly original but very enjoyable nonetheless. The main reference
points are Van der Graaf Generator, Brand X, David Sancious and Tone, Gentle Giant, and mid-period Return to
Forever ( "Where Have I Known You Before" and "Romantic Warrior"). The production of the bass, guitar, drums, sax,
and keyboards is very punchy and full-bodied, much like the Return to Forever albums. The playing is top- notch,
and the music is really good. I'm a fool for this type of stuff and French TV. offers a wonderful program, despite being
somewhat of a rerun. (Y-Records, Box 58040, Louisville, KY 40258) -------- Tom Grove/OPTION

French TV - After A Lengthy Silence
The second album from this Louisville, KY band After A lengthy Silence" was originally recorded in l987, and has
finally been re-released on CD. French TV play a somewhat eclectic music which draws from a variety of proressive
genres. On "After A Lengthy Silence", their sound is something of an instrumental fusion, incorporating some
complex ensemble parts which at times betray a calculated Zappa influence. The music alternates between more
improvisational sections, featuring some nice jazzy guitar and woodwind soloing over jerky odd-meter ostinatos, and
some tighter, more intricate passages. A lot of ideas are packed into each of these six tunes, which often change
abruptly from one theme to the next. This doesn't always make for the strongest thematic continuity and
development, but it does give listeners a wealth of meaty prog sounds to feast their ears upon. The CD reissue
contains a cover of Nektar's "A Tab in the Ocean" as a nice fifteen minute bonus track, and the package is rounded out as usual with French TV's typical humorous song titles and liner notes. Not an exceptional album, but still a solid chunk of contemporary American prog that definitely deserves this reissue. ------- RW/ EXPOSE
