MANEIGE

Maneige does indeed make lovely music. This is the least electric of the 4,but great never the less. I love Quebec prog like Cano and Harmonium also which is in the same sounding category of music. My problem with this album though ,is the first 4 minutes of the first track and a few bridges along the way. It sounds like the group strumming/tuning in avantgardish fashion,which in my ears just get totally annoying.I play this song the least because I just can't get bowwered sitting through the intro. Don't get me wrong,when the melody here is flowing, it is very special indeed. A big thank you to ProgQuebec for making these albums available.They say 'Non profit',but I do not find them particularly cheap.But ,I have no problem with that really ,because Maneige is a great band,and is nice that they are available. I rate this one three ,and the next Maneiges 4 * each. I will add though, that a proghead should at least own one Maneige.
