Two amazing albums with one of a kind atmosphere. Which one you prefer and why? I really like both but I think Harmonium takes the cake for me, maybe my alltime favourite album from Canada...

Well, Harmonium is extremely accessible, while Gryphon is really an acquired taste. 20 years passed between my discovery of these two albums: I eagerly waited for 5è Saison and bought it the day it was released, and I discovered (and WTF'ed at first... and at second) on RQTG3 in the mid-90's

You need "both" and "neither" options; I would vote both. Two different to decide; I enjoy them both immensely for what they are.

Gryphon.
Both are excellent, but that album touched me first. |

Gryphon is more of an interesting listen than a really enjoyable for me. Almost never make it to the second side of the vinyl. Harmonium is a nice album (especially the first side) and extremely well recorded.

Harmonium, what else ? BTW, real album title is "Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison".

Gryphon's is a really good 4* album.
Harmonium's is 3* and frankly not in the same league.

That Harmonium is in my top 5 of all time. The Gryphon is good too, but Harmonium is just music not of this world.

I'm only familiar with Gryphon's album, having reviewed it recently, so I'll have to defer my vote until I've heard Harmonium's album too.
