This quintet (Guitar, bass, drums, keyboards-vocals & keyboards) presents on this reissue from 1978, an elaborated Progressive music which mixes rock, folk and medieval influences. By the combination of those styles, the vocal perfection and complexity, the fineness and elaboration of the arrangements and the combination, or even the fusion, of acoustic and electric instruments like violin and cromorn, RIPAILLE resembles GENTLE GIANT. It has to be noticed that this CD includes three bonus tracks taken from an unreleased album by them: their second one.
