Details: Amazon.ca Led Zeppelin IV is certainly the absolute masterpiece of the English group. It is in any case his most secret disc, the most esoteric even, so much so that the Anglo-Saxon critics have nicknamed it "The Runes Album" (the runes being the characters of the alphabets of the ancient Scandinavian and Germanic peoples) . Beyond the words that seek to define the occult message of the group (and of Page in particular), it is indeed, from a musical point of view this time, an initiatory quest, the rediscovery of a lost universe through an alchemical mix of genres. Devastating riffs from "Black Dog", "Rock'n'Roll" and "Misty Mountain High Hop" with rich atmospheres, sometimes folk, sometimes psychedelic, sometimes blues from "The Battle Of Evermore", "Stairway To Heaven", "Going To California" and "When The Levee Breaks", Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham, united by the same desire to surpass themselves, delivered to the public a kind of timeless music which we have not, even today, drawn all the substantive marrow. --Philippe Margotin Product Description UK remastered reissue of 1971 album, packaged in a limited edition miniature LP gatefold sleeve. Eight tracks. Atlantic. 2003.
