cool! It mentioned Shawn Phillips as well! it also quotes Juan Rodriguez who was one of the authors of the 1975 article I clipped, and the mention of the organ dominated sounds resonating with people who spent their youth in the Catholic church. Thanks for posting!

of course, this is my favorite quote
3. Supertramp. Some would quibble with the inclusion of this British pop outfit in the progressive category, but the band was an essential ingredient of the city's arty musical landscape in the late '70's. The songs have not aged well, though, and no one should have to hear Dreamer ever again. yeah

I'm maybe pessimistic, but Stephen Takashi has more or less given up hope to release more prog gems from La Belle Province, given the context of diminishing sales He's reconverted in organizing prog concerts

I take back what I said about Maneige. I just ordered "Ni Vent Ni Nouvelle".

I used to be a fan of particular bands like Rush, Yes, and Deep Purple. Now I travel the Proglands, exploring a little bit of everything. I have become a Prog Voyager.

I have avoided Supertramp all these years exactly because of Dreamer. But I did always like The Logical Song. Recently I started reading PA reviews of Supertramp and I've decided at last to give them a chance later this year. |

That would be a shame. Then I'm glad I caught on in time to order at least some of the old gems before they become high-priced rarities. |

Then now's a great time to check out some other great music while it's still available, Meltdowner. |

That depends on your taste. I like the prog ROCK (distorted guitars, Hammond organ) of Morse Code. Vos Voisins, Offenbach, and Pollen also rock out often enough but keep some piano and acoustic handy. Et Cetera is said the be the French Canadian incarnation of Gentle Giant.
Octobre and Maneige are more jazzy and instrumental. L'Orchestre Sympathique is experimental and a bit over my head. Early Dionysos more psychedelic. Conventum very acoustic with violin. Contraction maybe like Maneige and Octobre but with vocals I think. Beau Dommage and Garolou are more song oriented and have some nice melodies but strike me as less proggy, based on what I've heard. That's as far as I've come so far. You can find all these bands on YouTube. |

Maneige's song Les Porches de Notre Dame is maybe the most beautiful thing ever put on record.

Argh! So now I need to look deeper into this one, too? Finding a rich vein of music is expensive. But I will listen! Thank you! |

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm listening to Morse Code's "La Marche Des Hommes" right now. Great music so far
 I'll check Maneige next, I can't ignore that comment

Miriodor. Enough said. One of the few Avant bands that appeal to more "conservative" prog fans, and one of the best live outfits I've had the pleasure to see (twice). Moreover, a great bunch of guys, very friendly and very dedicated to their music. In my view, Avanti! (2009) is one of the top 10 albums released since the beginning of the 21st century.

I wouldn't call Octobre instrumental... Pierre Flynn's vocals are all over the place. |

I've probably got the confused with Contraction or somebody else. I've checked out nearly a dozen bands in two days. Thanks for the clarification! |

ProgQuebec says great things about them, too. Now my curiosity is piqued. |

I love the Quebec prog scene and love all the bands you guys mentioned. I don't want to repeat bands that were already mentioned so I'll just add a few that weren't talked about.
Pangee - Instrumental prog one shot from 95', this is great stuff very Crimson influenced. The Box - They've been around since the 80's but you should really check their latest 2009 D'Apres Le Horla De Maupassant album, beautiful beautiful Crossover prog, not poppy at all and quite unique IMO. Michel Madore - This is a great addition to your collection if like your prog on the psychedelic side. Edited by Sagichim - February 05 2016 at 07:33 |
