SI ON AVAIT BESOIN D'UNE CINQUIÈME SAISON

Being from English Canada I can say my knowledge of French Canadian music is imperfect at best. Even though I went through French immerssion school from pre-school straight up to twelth grade I was never interested in it. It has too strange a style for my sensitive little Anglo ears.

All that boring personal crap aside, Si On Avait Besoin D'Une Cinquième Saison is most exceptional and surprising album I have yet had the pleasure of hearing. It is relaxed, insightful, passionate and all together enjoyable. It manages to easy transcend the cultural barrier which was stood in the way of my other attempts to listen to french music. Languge isn't important on this album. Serge Fiori commicates with remarkable clearity without it.

The final phase of Depuis L'Automne is one of my favourite pieces of music, period. It is totally electrifying. Being able to understand what he is saying does add a little wieght but it is just as powerful without it.

Anyone who is the slightest bit curious about this album should do themselves a favour and give it a listen. C'est une véritable trésor!
