I Think I'm Dancing

Jack And The '

Orchestral pop masterpiece

16th February 2016

Great review for Melody Cycle on Music In Belgium ! [...] Le résultat est un petit chef d’œuvre de pop orchestrale, teinté de psychédélisme douillet et de chamber pop cristalline. Le Pink Floyd de 1967 vient chatouiller des airs de Barry Ryan ou de Michel Polnareff sous le regard attendri de Petula Clark, le tout dans une approche moderne et contemporaine. De gentilles bluettes comme "Chicory salad", "Dinner at the Andersons’", "The secret part of town", des chansonnettes veloutées comme "Entropy and me" ou "Snowy days" viennent égayer les tympans et redonner du cœur à l’ouvrage.

7ahead (Uk) likes Melody Cycle : [...] As we get into the heart of the record, we really get to examine the genius in Lonchamp’s arrangements with tracks like Talking Loud sounding like something off Sgt Pepper’s. The almost ragtime piano on Little Things puts a quirky twist on things and, another ’60s reference, puts them in the same bracket as the likes of The Turtles and The Troggs. [...]

Review of Melody Cycle on FolkWords (UK).

[...] There’s also a recurring feeling that you have somehow slipped into an ‘orchestral pop’ experience from somewhere in the late 1960’s with strange psychedelic overtones. [...]
