...yes, "Avant Prog" for sure(re: Conventum).  However, very listeneable.  Not unlike the League Of Crafty Guitarists where Conventum predate them, I think.  Some politically charged lyrics here and there, but nothing preachy.  A neutral francais...nothing you hear at le depaneur. Clown
 
...a bientot!

If you like them, I'd definitely suggest you Rouge Ciel and Miriodor.
If you like those then go with Interférence Sardines, but start with the other two, they're better.

maybe Heavy Prog needs to listen to the early Mahogany Rush albums , up to & including Tales.

Or maybe Psych / Space. Frank loved to use flanger / phaser / chorus and any other effect pedal on most songs

Frank still really trips out with all kinds of spacecd out guitar effects and his shows are still f**king loud!!!  Motorhead eat your heart out !!! Not only his early stuff but Eye Of The Storm could even be considered here.

Another album in a similar style to Harmonium (and one that I personally enjoy very much) is Au-dela des ombres by Ere G (alias multi-instrumentalist Robin Gaudreault)
 
It was released in 2002, and I've been desperate for a follow-up ever since!

I haven't explored that scene very deeply, I only listened to Harmonium, Et Cetera and Pollen... The latter two didn't impress me much, but I probably have to listen to them a couple of times more...
 
By the way, is there any quebecoise band of the 70's who wasn't influenced by Gentle Giant? :D
 
Québec Prog Bands not influenced by GG?  Garolou (first album was called Lougarou), Aquarelle, Sloche, Opus5, Éclipse, Dionne & Brégent, Contraction, Morse Code, Octobre, Uzeb (rather Jazz-Rock fusion, though), and I'm quite sure I'm forgetting many others.

Sloche might have been influenced by GG.
 
But many bands were'nt;Champignons,Ungava,Av'nir,Agharta,W.D. Fisher,early Offenbach,Lagagnamo,Nebu,Concept,Concert,Demesure....

Mashmakhan? Funky. Sort of same category as Crowbar ( Oh What a Feeling What a Rush). I met Kelly Jay once when he was doing a gig in a bar in Banff, Alberta. The guy has literally made a living off that song!

I'm going to the library tonight. I`ll see what I can dig up on Mashmakhan.

Do you think it would be weird to suggest Charlebois for Proto-Prog. I mean, he had a major influence on Québécois' progressive music. Albums like Québec Love, Robert Charlebois et Louise Forestier, Fu Man Chu, et cetera.

I wasn't joking. Think about it, hasn't he influenced a lot of progressive artists from Québec?

like who? I think he would be wondering himself what bearing he had on Québec's artrock rennaissance if he saw his name pop up here.

He had an inestimùable influence over Quebec's ciltural evolition, but not really over prog
 
I don't think it would be wise to have him here.
 
A bit as if you had Dylan, Stones and Chuck Berry as proto-prog>>> no real object
 
 
 
Offenbach is on the way to getting acceoptance as prog-related.

I tghink WD Fisher has a case fdor inclusion.
 
I remember effectively you proposing them in a list of four or five and three of them being accepted.
 
surely they'll get a better chance this time
