I’ve been a fan since the 70’s of French band Catharsis and their keyboard master Roland Bocquet. I’ve met him a number of times, usually in Paris. It’s weird how Catharsis aren’t more famous. My good friend Yael finally found me the CD of “Vol. 6” recently. Great stuff, mostly instrumental. Both “Paradia” and “Robot Rose” are amazing solo albums.
