Mirage (73)

French progressive rock / jazz rock fusion band born in 1996 by keyboardist Philipe Duplessy, guitarist Stephan Forner, his brother bassist Cyrille Forner and drummer Joe Mondon. Stephan's wife Agnes Forner, who would join them on flute and vocals during concerts, soon became a permanent member of the band. For most of twenty years, all had been Camel devotees and by 2001 they had gigged, jammed and accumulated enough material to release a first album titled A Secret Place. This gave them some exposure and fostered a renewed enthusiasm for a second album titled Tales from the Green Sofa, released in 2004.
