Well, it was discussed with Hugues, and I personally hope they'll be added. He told me to be ready to write their bio Smile
 
Saint-Chrome de Néant is an excellent progressive album. Bulldozer also has its proggy moments!

My cup of tea!
 
Offenbach,at least in their original icarnation(1970-77) would definately fit on PA.A part from the great ''St-Chrone de néant'' album they did record many prog oriented songs on each of their early albums; Kadryll,Bulldozer,Marilyn,Reve a Lachute,Ether,Edgar...
 
Solstice were a good fusion-Jazzrock band in the Maneige tradition and should be here to.
 
L'orient d'O were a sympho prog band whose album should please Camel,Focus and Mona Lisa fans.

Nébu were more on the jazz side of things but then again should fit on PA 's broad definition of prog.
 
Le Match are here,thanks to Hughes and a CD-r I sent him!Wink
 
Champignons should be here if they aren't already.They were a loose psych-prog drug induced type band much the same way some early Kraut bands were;Guru Guru,Amon Duul 2,Ash Ra Tempel,even some early Gong,Hawkwind,ect...The psych-space tag would fit like a glove.
 
Other bands who would fit;
 
Demesure for Jazz-rock Fusion.
 
June Wallack prog-folk.Her album was recorded with memebers of VEBB.
 
Concept;They would fit the psych-space much the same way Champignons would.These guys were crazy!
Their music is wild,psych,far out,lo-fi,cosmic....and drug influenced to!
 
Eclipse;Their first album is almost like a moog clinic.No less!Two keys players who brings the band in a Pink Floyd /Pulsar vein,that is absolutely breathtaking!Cosmic,etheral,astral....Those who think ALL Quebec bands were Gentle Giant influenced,think twice!Wink

I've suggested Eclipse a few times to various genres, but nothing has transpired so far. Mind you , I never pushed further. But yes, they definitely deserve to be here. I'd do a seearch, but the word eclipse occurs rather often, eh

The fact that their album was not release on CD dosent help ,ie;they are almost anonymus in Québec,imagine the rest of the world!
Their second album was total about face.Boring dance beats and disco hop.Shocked

I'd like to introduce you to another band, a more obscure one this time. I also simultaneously suggested it for inclusion. It's band band named Torngat 
 
Torngat is a Post Rock band from Québec, Canada formed in 2001 in Montréal. It's an instrumental band, they released two albums, You Could Be and La petite Nicole.
Members:
 
- Pietro Amato / French horn, percussions, melodeon
- Mathieu Charbonneau / Keyboards, percussions, melodeon
- Julien Poissant / Drums, keyboard, trumpet, melodeon
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Interesting fact : Pietro Amato is an ex-member of Arcade Fire. He is also a member of Bell Orchestre, a band that is already here.

A couple of Quebec albums I like muchly are Franck Dervieux's Dimension M from 1972 (he was in Contraction and I see this is listed under Contraction in PA -- in Crossover.  It's a fine album)

And Lewis Furey's self-titled from 1975. http://www.myspace.com/lewisfurey

I'd like to introduce you to a third band from Québec : Fiori-Séguin, which will be added soon.

 

Fiori-Séguin is a band that made only one album in 1978 called Deux-cent nuits à l’heure (Two-hundred nights per hour). Serge Fiori was Harmonium’s singer and was really well-known in Québec. Richard Séguin, of Les Séguin, was then a folk singer with progressive elements (he is now only a folk/traditional singer). Fiori and Séguin met when during the recording of a Gilles Valiquette album in 1976. Richard Séguin also appeared in Harmonium’s last album, L’heptade, where he did backing vocals.

Both Serge Fiori and Richard Séguin wanted to combine creativity, progressiveness and a more balladeer side. They achieved well with Deux-cent nuits à l’heure, which was a big commercial success. This band should appeal to those who love Harmonium and are looking for another similar band, since most of the members that were present in Harmonium’s L’heptade are also on this album.

Morse Code is like a cross between Genesis and Ange, yet not derivative because there's still remnants of their early psychedelic period and bits of hard rock.
 
Morse Code - "Le Marche Des Hommes" is their "Trespass/Nursery Cryme"
Morse Code - "Procreation" is their "Foxtrot/Selling England By The Pound"
Morse Code - "Trick Of The Tail/Wind & Wuthering"
 
...essentially a trilogy.  Great Quebecois prog.  One of the best.

But then what would be their second MCT II ???Question

Tongue Sorry, wrong...
These albums are much psych, and they're sung in English.
They're o.k., but you'd be more impressed with La marche des hommes, their masterpiece in my opinion

Je ne crois pas que tu aies saisis le sens de ma réplique.
 
En comparant les albums classique de Genesis avec ceux de Morse Code,je n'ai fait qu'établire un parallèle entre le premier Genesis(from Genesis to Revelation) et le premier Morse Code.
 
Dans les deux cas on a affaire a deux jeunes groupes qui s font les dents et dont le premier album allait grandement differer de leurs oeuvres plus matures.
 
Je connais la dscographie de ces groupes comme le fond de ma poche.
