ALBUM A COLORIER

I almost get this feeling of deja vu with this second release from Marcoeur. Yes the similar cover art helps with that, and the music at times too but this just doesn't feel inspired to me like the debut. A been there, done that, just not as good. Albert's two brothers are back both playing percussion and one clarinet. Again a lot of light intricate sounds. And I think that's in part why I prefer his next two albums because he brought in bassoon and harmonium. Some depth and a little darkness.

This was released in 1976 and is 31 minutes long. Around 13 musicians and a lot of horns and vocals. I mention depth and that's why my favourite song on here is "Le Pere Grimoine" as we get some of that rare depth after a minute. Some samples on here too like car's honking and engine's revving on that very short opener. More samples on the short Fermaz La Porte" of someone opening a door and walking around. I'm no into the longest tune "La D'dams" with those rough vocals and sound. "La Cueilette Des Noix" is pretty good. Jazzy, light with reserved vocals, then spoken words.

Like the majority this is my least favourite of his first four.
