Forgas Band Phenomena
Active since:
Forgas Band Phenomena is a French instrumental progressive rock and jazz fusion band. Inspired by Soft Machine and the Canterbury scene, composer and drummer Patrick Forgas has created the band and is still leading it. Since 2005, his albums are edited by the American label Cuneiform.
For over 40 years, Parisian composer and drummer Patrick Forgas has been working and creating a distinctive take on progressive jazz/rock, and he has been leading Forgas Band Phenomena for over 20 years. We are really happy and pleased to once again be working with this eclectic, electric fusion / progressive rock band on their sixth release and fourth for Cuneiform.
The ensemble’s many long time fans certainly know what to expect, as the group’s base of ‘Canterbury sound’ stylings in a orchestrally arranged setting with jazz solos continues here, stronger and with even more maturity than ever.
Helping to contribute to the great confidence in the performances is the fact that the majority of the band has been stable and rehearsing for over a decade, with only two changes made in the last few years

Forgas Band Phenomena: Acte V
by Glenn Astarita
Drawing comparisons to a pro football team, this band would most assuredly make the playoffs every year. Highly acclaimed, the French unit led by drummer Patrick Forgas looms as a proven commodity within the upper echelon of progressive rock. The album presents a potpourri of fusion and jazz-rock that translucently incorporates the blitzkrieg improvisational segments of ...

Forgas Band Phenomena: L'Axe du Fou - Axis of Madness
by AAJ Italy Staff
Credo fermamente che l'universo sonoro che ha sempre ruotato attorno alla celebrata Canterbury Scene," da Caravan, Soft Machine e National Health in qua, sia - da quando ho l'età della ragione - una delle manifestazioni sonore più belle ed intriganti dell'intera storia della musica. Chi, alla fine dei Sessanta/inizi Settanta, ne è stato stregato, non è ...

by John Kelman
There has been a relatively short gap between Forgas Band Phenomena's L'Axe du Fou and Soleil 12 (Cuneiform, 2005)--four years, as opposed to the six between Soleil and the out-of-print Extra Lucide (Cosmos, 1999)--but plenty has happened. Drummer Patrick Forgas' longstanding group has been almost completely revamped--only bassist Kengo Mochizuki and keyboardist Igor Brover remain--and with ...
