    Scented Gardens Of The Mind:

    Named after the Alice travelling to Wonderland in Lewis Caroll's immortal novel, this group had an uncommon sound for a French band, more similar in style to contemporary British rock. One of the reasons for this was the blues-rock background of several members. The first line-up (early 1970) included Auffredo, Suzan, Duplant and two ex-members of Alan Jack Civilization: Claude Olmos (guitar) and Jean Falissard (drums). This configuration only recorded Alice's first single "De L'Autre Côté Du Miroir" (the other side of the mirror)/ "Viens".

    Their first album was recorded at the Marquee Studio in London in October 1970. The important contributions from Auffredo (mainly on flute but also sax and violin), Suzan (mainly on organ) and Besse (playing great guitar) led to obvious comparisons with Jethro Tull, Traffic and Family. Alice's greatest strength was their talent for songwriting, composing songs with an instant appeal. Their music was lively and rural with some hippie vibes, maybe closest to Traffic's second album. On some tracks Alice used warbling Leslie effects on the vocals. Along with the first Magma album, this was one of the best French albums of 1970. In spite of this, it didn't influence the future direction of French progressive rock, as is usually regarded as being linked with the classic songwriting tradition of the late sixties. Arrêtez Le Monde (1972) was a far more "progressive" effort. The English lyrics version of the album is very rare. Alice belonged to the first generation of French rock groups along with Martin Circus, Alan Jack Civilization and Systeme Crapoutchik.
