Patrick Rondat is Jean Michel Jarre's guitarist. This album though doesn't contain music influenced by Jean Michel Jarre. The music is complex instrumental progressive rock/metal with very nice melodies and influences from classical music. There are a lot of good harmonies and tempo changes. Patrick is a true guitar maestro. Would you expect something else from a musician that's working with Jarre? Jean Michel Jarre also produces the album.

Behind the drums are the well-known drummer Tommy Aldridge (ex-Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Gary Moore and others). As always his drumming is very heavy and energetic.

The highlights on this album:

The title track "Amphibia" that is split up into six sections, all with different moods. Antonio Vivaldi's composition "Vivaldi Tribute" from the concerto in G minor. "L`été" (Summer). Symphony in 3 movements "Presto". This track contains astounding guitar playing. Patrick used to play this piece as practise, and this is truly an intricate piece of work. The album's best track. Not very surprisingly there's a cover of Jean Michel Jarre's famous "Equinoxe IV". Here Patrick interprets it in another way. I love it! The neo-classic track "Burn Out" that is a live version of a track that was on Patrick's second album "Rape of the Earth". It's so skilfully played that it's hard to believe it's a live recording.

The CD comes with a cover booklet containing comments from Patrick about each track, and a great artwork showing a frog on the front cover. This is a masterpiece that's highly recommended!
