On the cover, a well known paiting from Hokusaï (let's stay open to every from of art), illustrating perfectly the "Wave" part of the album title. Let's see now if the audio part have enough standing to pretend being a "Cristal". Sadly, that's not the case...

Clearly, 5 tracks to get a precise point of view is not an easy exercise but the conclusions we can get about it are not wonderful: these ones remain flat et don't provide any tension for this kind of sound, except maybe for Crystal dance, a bit more energetic.

The sound, the melodies and even the beat are really soft et can illustrate the first part of the album name, as they seem light and aerial.

However, it seems that the whole clearly lacks of strength to release a musical tsunami. This album gives us the impression that we are listening long introductions without any core, or cinematic soundtrack without any real take-off.

To conclude, we are given very crystalline tracks, pleasant to hear but, due to the lack of anything big enough to offer them any substance, remain flat. Still, that's not a reason for not listening it by yourself and making your own point of view about it thanks to its presence in bandcamp.

It is also noticeable that this is the first album of Monsieur Peace, realized in a few months of work. We can easily think that the next albums will be more mature and deeper that Crystal wave.
