Reborn, time after time!
Although System 7 consists of two central band members, Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy, all of their albums feature collaborators from various bands. Now what is great about this is that these collaborators bring unique flavors to each albums. Come their new one, Phoenix, featuring Slackbaba, Jam El Mar (of Jam & Spoon fame), Son Kite and Eat Static, among others, and you suddenly find yourself listening to a few psyprog and psytrance influenced songs as well as ambient but with the "core" of System 7's sound intact ; Steve Hillage's guitars are ever present, for example. I'll spare you the details of what a Phoenix stands for (look up the Wikipedia page!), but Giraudy and Hillage, with the helps of their friends, really knows how to be reborn from their own ashes, time after time! 4/5. - Squirsier
