Their eponym album is also very good, a litle bit more folk but still very interesting.

Yes I like their debut ... although Heptade is the only one I don't have!

You should really go get it! It is second only to Si on avait... in my opinion.

Yes so I've heard ...the sample track here L'exil is pretty intense ... I haven't heard anything I don't like ... from the relatively light Aujourd'hui, je dis bonjour à la vie on the first album to the more dense moments on Si on avait

On L'Heptade, they worked with an orchestra and there are beautiful classical interludes of music keeping the whole thing very intense. It's the kind of music that grabs a hold of your heart.

Well that certainly applies to moments on Si On Avait too ... Histoires sans parole in particular has a deep, deep feeling of melancholy ... ... I almost can't take it sometimes ...

One of my favorite bands!!! I really need to get my hands on  "Deux Cents Nuits à l'Heure", by Serge Fiori and Richard Séguin. Probably not an easy one to find, though

Hey guys,don`t forget their live album''En tournée'',where they play the whole of L'Heptade without the orchestral bits.But they do strech out on some pieces.Serge Locat was amazing on those instrumental strech,very undrrated keyboardist.Btw,I'm proud to see some youngster enjoying real music,not just star academie and McRadio.But,if you're fed up with radio, you can always listen to Cosmorock,a cool all prog show, every saturday evening,from 9 till midnight on 103,3 CHAA FM,in Longueil.

[QUOTE=stebo32]Re the Grace Slick piccie/QUOTE]

Taken at Woodstock? Used to be very tasty, alas old age (my problem too) and chemical habits of the 60's and 70's (not my problem)  have created a different picture for 21st century.
