Au Cercle De Pierre... Musea 1997

French progressive rock band established in the early 1980s by the Payssan brothers. Their early recordings were all instrumental, and featured a lot of folk references, which were replaced by more stylish contemporary elements on many later releases. What has remained throughout is the influence of medieval music. Vocals are introduced on later recordings (female and male). The group's style has shifted considerably during their 30 year history.
