UNGAVA

Ungava is an obscure canadian band from late '70's releasing one album selftitled in 1977. They are one of the many bands that emerge from Quebec scene, but they come with an album quite late , when most of the bands already establish themself in major league of prog music, at least some of them. The music Ungava playes is rather a more towards heavy prog in places , with cruchy guitar lines, the an usual folk band, this style is very well melted with more guitar orientated elements ,some fantastic sax and flute moments gives a special atmosphere to this album. Here and there are soe jazzy parts with sporadic vocal arrangements, the album is mainly instrumental . The long time reissue on CD was made this year in 15.02.2010, when label Mandala (the one who released aswell Et Cetera or Polestar 1) decided to puted on CD another obscure but woth have it band from '70's Quebec scene. The best pieces are the opening tracks , the first two :Hors D'Eden Gorgo and Les Oiseaux Lumineux. 3 stars, a good album for sure, but nothing really impressive or essential, still a fair album with good moments.
