FRANK DERVIEUX - DIMENSION "M"

Contraction is a new find for me, but one that I will be including in my regular rotation. This collective of Quebec musicians shines in their debut album. The musicianship is top notch and a diversity of instrumentation is candy to my ears. While the album is heavy on jazz/funk themes/grooves it is nonetheless easy to feel the band reaching beyond those genres to create something unique from the rest of progressive music emerging out of Quebec. Highly recommend it to any serious prog-lover, particularly those looking for fem-foward outfits - Christiane does not disappoint. This obscure and complex album deserves more reviews and notoriety in my opinion.
