Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2003, 'Ange En Concert: Par Les Fils De Mandrin' marks a significant moment as the band's first live album after a decade-long hiatus from studio recordings. At this point, Ange had established themselves as pioneers of French progressive rock since their inception in the early 1970s, but had not released new material since 1999's 'Au-delà du Délire'. This concert captures their unique blend of storytelling and sonic exploration, showcasing their enduring artistry.
