"France spirals towards a civil war, as nobles continue to ignore the people of France. Noblewoman Oscar Fraṅois de Jarjayes is forced to reconsider her life as a soldier and a woman, her loyalties and her love. Marie Antoinette and the royal family seek escape, while Robespierre and the National Assembly take up arms and demand democracy." -- Provided by publisher.

Over the course of his past couple releases, Fernando Corona has morphed from a strings and beats style electronic musician (Remembranza) into a sound sculptor that has pushed inot a territory that toes the line between doom, drone, and ambient music (Cosmos). Of course, my explanations above are somewhat watered-down, and Corona has always shown himself to be a bit outside what other contemporary musicians are doing while at the same time showing a real willingness to redraw his own boundaries. That progression continues with The Versailles Sessions, and while it isn't being labeled as his true follow-up album to Cosmos, it nonetheless finds him creating something completely unique.
