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.
