Salon des musiques progressives du Québec

How about this . . .

Todd wrote: How about this . . .   I just bought Octobre's and Garolou's compilation CDs, as well as Cano's 2 CDs.  I've ordered lots from ProgQuebec (Sloche, Morse Code, Contraction, Conventum, etc), which should be here shortly!  This is great stuff . . . I especially love the material from Octobre's "Les Nouvelles Terres" album.  Boy I feel like a wide-eyed, wonder-filled noob again!    And by the way . . . I've had Sloche's "J'un Oiel" on the Tachika CD for a while--great album--but I'm buying the proper version now that it's out.  Just so you don't think that no one who bought the "pirated" version will buy the official one.

Have you tried Maneige???? These guys top them akk uin my eyes

Here's the RPQ I have so far:

Cano – Tou Dans l’Meme Bateau, Au Nord de Notre

Contraction – Same, La Bourse ou la Vie

Conventum – A L’Affut, Le Bureau

L’Engoulevent – I’Ile Ou Vivent Les Loups

Et Cetera – same

Excubus – Memoires

Fiori/Seguin – Deux Cents Nuits a l’Heure

Garolou – Tableau d’Hier vol 1 and 2

Harmonium – same, Cinq Saisons, l’Heptade

Charles Kaczynski – Lumiere

Yves Laferriere – same

Lasting Weep – L’Albatross

Maneige – same, Les Porches, Ni Vent . . .

Morse Code – La Marche des Hommes, Procreation, Je Suis le Temps

Octobre – 1972-1989

Opus-5 – Contre Courant, Serieux Ou Pas

Pollen – same

Jacques Tom Rivest – same

Sloche – J’un Oiel, Stadacone

L’Ultime Rock Progressif Quebecois compilation

 

From the RIO category:

Miriodor – Rencontres, Jongleries Elastiques, Mekano, Avanti!

Rouge Ciel – same

 

Others I have that may fit the RPQ classification (please forgive me if they do not!):

Ere G – Au Dela des Hombres

Michel le Francois – Sur la Terre Comme au Ciel

Hune – De l’Autre Cote du Mond

Mundi Domini – same

Please let me know if you see any glaring omissions that I could add, or any other recommendations you have.  Merci!

a note on Etcetera, the Gentle Giant comparison is good, but I would add that they are a mellower Giant, more akin to Power & the Glory era sound.
And if you love Maneige, You may like Leitmotiv. The best part of this recommendation - you can listen to their music for free (legally) - and then decide how much you're going to give.
as for missing RPQ from your list , Todd - Le Match (imagine Garolou with a more medieval sound), Jelly Fiche (Sean's review is pretty good. Though I find them run of the mill prog), Breche.
There are two that aren't yet at PA - Eclipse ( http://rapidshare.com/files/147330461/Eclipse-s.t.-Canada-1976.zip.html) - "Vision Interieur" sounds like a Floyd outtake from WIsh you were Here; "Pleine Lune" ,  Eloy meets Hawkwind; Le Reve de John W." is a late 70s fusion piece; "La Derniere Fois" could pass a Matha & the Muffins doing an early Beatles tune, "TAime (Voix) & T'Aime (Moog) are spacey one minute fillers; "Qu'attends-tu de Moi" is 70s Quebec pop rack radio fare" ; and "Pensee pour Barbara / Honey #38" is a spacey piece that I can't compare except to the Echo Era Floyd or early Eloy.

Daniel Gauthier is here. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=4842

^ I read that fast! I thought you were saying the FMPM wouldn't exist anymore.
In fact, that's probably a good thing for them (and us) to concentrate on re-editions. A lot of Québecois CDs that I'd love to get but I can't.
