ET CETERA

Of course , there is a lot of Gentle Giant influences here and they are not trying to hide them. My colleague reviewer Larz says that this is a clone , and yes , it is probably one, and a damn good one at that ( even the 70's had their fair share of them ). But most clone bands actually don't reach the height and perfection of their model. This album would rank as a GG album along with Interview in quality and for the tone Octopus . The multi-vocals harmonies and complex playing are the pinnacle of what came out from Quebec in those years ( from 74 to 79 , there was an incredibly vital prog scene in that province where the rest of Canada seemed more inclined on hard rock ) but as much as this is beautyful , this also lacks personnality and a little soul . Very much worth a spin , though.
