Released in 1977, « Tempus Fugit » - the unique album from the french progressive rock band METABOLISME - is a treasure for those who love lush organs in the style of YES, sophisticated guitars URIAH HEEP won’t deny and french vocals ala MONA LISA.

METABOLISME can not only be classed in the trend of a certain kind of French rock represented by groups such as ATOLL or MONA LISA but also in the English style of chamber rock music. Like the other groups playing this kind of music (CRESSIDA, CZAR, FRUUP), METABOLISME offers a delicate and sophisticated sound based on carefully worked-out, ethereal vocal harmonies, on the keyboards elegant chords and on the guitar or flute's sober flights.
