4 stars Some of you maybe already know that Sean Trane's 4.5 really means (when translated to language that I understand) 5 stars. Yes, I usually tend to rate higher than some reviewers here, but I do not aim too high, just a little bit when I feel like.

I also thought that Harmonium's second album is Prog Folk (not Symphonic) and that this is Symphonic, not PF. Well, who knows. It sounds good, really good. Combining the best from both genres (yes, there's a lot of flute), Canadian folk is considered perfect for reasons. And these melodies elements of melancholic parts with somehow wild "solos" (as in Vent Du Midi that's prime example of this, even virtually every song here is like that). Biography is little bit dull (because I don't like "yet another" starting phrase), but maybe promotion of this album on main page may seasons its fame. And one more thing, there's a lot of violin here, but that just helps it all.

Even I'm forced to give just four stars, because there's something I lack. Even I don't know what it is. Singing is in French, but it's softer French, as one Canadian man said to me. There's a lot of Symphonic elements (I like them), Folk ones (too), songs are complex and intelligent. So

4(+) and hope that this feeling will change in future. Because this is really extraordinary, one-album wonder band that deserves it, so I'm quite sad I'm not able to give it.
