III

"The defining moment was III (Frenetic, 1997), a 25-track double album released under the moniker C4AM95. The style of the guitar duo had solidified in a forceful fusion of heavy-metal and math-rock, that did not eschew melodic progressions but only if grafted on convoluted structures. Sometimes reminiscent of Voivod , the Champs romp through rock and roll numbers such as Amanda and Valkyrie Is Dying and linger on the complex scaffolding of Dale Bozzio, Flawless Victory and The Golden Pipes Trilogy. The album is embellished with several short electronic ditties in the vein of Brian Eno (Now Is The Winter Of Our Discoteque, Andres Segovia Interests Me). " Piero Scaruffi
