        He's been talking about this new album for years. Grief, doubt, life
        passing by, changing priorities and the impression of having already
        said everything musically have postponed the deadline so many times that
        his fans hardly believed in it any more. So when Patrick Rondat
        announced the official release of ôEscape From Shadowsö, 21 years after
        ôAn Ephemeral Worldö, the community of French guitarists wavered,
        overcome by excitement, impatience and emotion. Because, yes, it's all
        about emotion. The emotion of rediscovering the master of the
        back-and-forth, the disciple of Al Di Meola, the musician who paved the
        way for so many others in France, proving that it was possible to record
        instrumental guitar albums without necessarily copying the Americans.
        And above all, the emotion of reuniting with an old friend whom we've
        never really lost sight of, and with whom we still have so much to
        share.
        This emotion runs through the whole album, with each track reminding us
        just how much we've missed Patrick Rondat as a solo artist over the
        years, despite his frequent collaborations with other artists. His
        phrasing, his touch, his sense of melody, his ability to compose music
        that is complex in structure and limpid in execution... nothing has
        really changed, and yet everything seems new, as if ôEscape From
        Shadowsö were the album we've been waiting for without really realizing
        it. Rondat's style hasn't aged a day, and with maturity, it's improved
        to focus on the essentials: superb melodies serving a music that has
        never been so influenced by progressive rock (æInvisible WarsÆ
        keyboards) and progressive metal (æFear And GuiltÆ, æEscape From
        ShadowsÆ, æFrom NowhereÆ).
        In full possession of his powers, the guitarist transports us from the
        very first notes of the symphonic æOvertureÆ, never to let go. He takes
        us on a musical journey in his own image: warm, humble, sometimes
        teasing (the winks to Satriani on the excellent æWhispery HopesÆ), and
        sometimes genuinely surprising, as on the album's only vocal track, æNow
        We're HomeÆ, which is again pierced by the emotion of Gaδlle Buswel's
        blues-rock voice. And even though ôEscape From Shadowsö is less
        technical than ôAn Ephemeral Worldö and more in the vein of æAmphibiaÆ,
        Patrick Rondat closes the album with a real guitar prowess, with his own
        interpretation of the classic piece ôKreisler - Prelude And Allegroö,
        much more tense than the version he recorded with HervΘ N'Kaoua, and on
        which he shines with his expressiveness and virtuosity.
        ôEscape From Shadowsö is a remarkable album in every way, in its
        conception, its assertive progressive edge, its cinematic ambience and
        its legitimate obsession with putting technique at the service of music.
        At a time when social networks are invaded by apprentice shredders who
        too often confuse speed with haste, Patrick Rondat shows that a
        guitarist must above all be a musician, and that this is the only
        condition for lasting success. No one knows whether this album will mark
        the end of a career, or even the end of an era, but in any case, it's
        one to keep preciously in one's record library, as it is a poignant
        tribute by a great artist to the guitar as a means of expressing a
        unique personality.
