Know about Harmonium? Maybe you should

never ever heard anyone put harmonium down sad it is way down on the poll with so many mediocre albums above it in a bad mood spin it and relax it can definitely mellow you whenever i loaned it out ihad a hard time getting it back being an old head i recommend it to all teenagers whether they like prog or not think tool is art isuppose it is that must make harmonium high art

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.

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 ...

if we needed a fifth season is the best prog album in the history of quebec.

it is our national jewel.

tons of mellotron a la epsilon in malaysian pale.

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.

Les Porches from Maneige is a real great album!

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

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

Listen to the sample of Tout Le temps (hope I've spelled that right ) on the main site ... a very interesting double keyboard sound ...

Admin speaking now: BTW, guys this thread is in prog polls and I'm going to move it to the main lounge, OK?
