STEVEGANE PROJECT reflects the musical vision of one French multi-instrumentist, who has worked closely with Ritchie BLACKMORE's touring crew. Don't expect DEEP PURPLE's Progressive hard-rock, powerful riffs ala RAINBOW or medieval ambiences here, though... "When The Time Is A Present" (Musea, 2011) is an excellent instrumental album, led by an electric guitar lyrical to the bone. It's impossible not to think of Mike OLDFIELD or David GILMOUR, one might say Jean-Pascal BOFFO or MINIMUM VITAL... But don't be mistaken: those four long tracks (Plus one 3 minutes-piece) appear to be original and catchy at the same time. Even programmed, the drums know how to be discreet and quirky at the same time, cleverly supporting this beautiful and quiet music. Here's a real invitation to go on a journey !
