Ok, next time do not make multiple voting polls

_____________________________________

French Prog/

Four main currents (Gong which I consider french is not relly representative of French prog)

Magma school: Zeuhl and clearly the greatest French group. Almost the only group that created a genre by itself

Ange: A mix of symphonic and theatrical rock: classical at first (their first two were heavily leaning on genesis-type of symphonic rock) , original afterwards (from Au Delà Du Délire onwards , they used a very prominent vocal role and Descamp became the central figure even more than Gabriel was in genesis) and influential (prime achievment: they are mostly responsible for having many French groups trying it in the late 70's even though the mood for such music was on the fade out>> Shylock, Carpe Diem, Mona Lisa, Asia Minoer etc...)  , but clearly not on the same level of greatness than Magma

Lard Free, Heldon, Pinhas: the French side of Krautrock , these guys went far into their trip, and artistcally , they deserve to be the equal to Magma>>> My fave

Malicorne and other folk prog groups such as Ripaille or Asgard and Tangerine. This is never really groundbreaking stuff , but always progresses along by updating trad stuff
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Probably is... Amazing that people have nothing better to do than vote hundreds of times on matters that don't really matter to them...How stupid.

I love Oxygen, though I don't think its a masterpiece.

Uff what a difficult poll!

I really love Clearlight, early Ange, Sandrose and "..strands" by Pulsar.

But it´s very necessarily to mention:

XII Alphonse, Fugu, Taal and Drama

Cheers...

Hi all, great poll here with nice references... Magma, Pulsar, Etron fou, Zao, Clearlight of course

other main early bands which were on the road in the 70ees :
  • "Crium delirium" they didn't want to be recorded but lately in the 90 they published live tapes in CD.
  • "Cheval fou" was a powerful trio very creative.
  • "Catherine Ribeiro et Alpes" a band and a great singer. There Patrice Moulet played his own instruments as percuphone and else.
  • "Potemkine" rather jazz-rock very original music.
  • Albert Marcoeur still live and well.

Which genre/subgenre he belongs???



Genre: Progressive
Sub genre(s): Psyche/space prog with some singing which may remind of Ange, but in less theatral.
The guitar is of course excellent, and can be hendrix-like at times.


>>>
Here's what says gepr.net:

Markusfeld, Alain [France]

Le Monde En Etages (70), Le Son Tombe Du Ciel (71), Le Desert Noir (77), Platock (78), Contemporus (79), Live (80)

French guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, very unique. His albums blend multi-layered acoustic guitars with fiery leads, piano, ethereal female voices, throbbing bass and percussion. His guitar style could be described as early Larry Coryell (acoustic) meets Randy California (electric) with a strong middle-eastern influence. Le Desert Noir is a heavier guitar album which features drums on almost every track, overall very hendrix influenced. With Platock, there is more maturity in his sound, combining delicate acoustic guitars and more piano to his trademark sound, with less reliance on drums. Contemporus attempts to continue in the same vein, but fails to reach the same energy level, except possibly on the sidelong "Contemporus" suite. Start with Platock, which most will agree is his best. First two releases are very rare.
