On 5ème Saison, the shorter tracks are folk indeed, but the longer tracks include too much mellotron for folk, so these would be symphonic on a folk base. I don't know much about L'Heptade, but the mp3 sample on PA points in the direction of Symhonic Prog again.

Mellotron =/= Symphonic prog

Well not really, it was done as such before the specialist teams were created in late 2005... the debut of the siote in its present form dates from Febr 04
We (the PF team) did ask for Harmonium to be transfered, but the Symphonic teamjudged there was enough symphonic to keep it there, based mostly on L'Heptade.

All bands in Symphonic were reviewed by the team at least once, which resulted in several clean-ups, so they're not in Symphonic without team evaluation, that was my point.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I feel like both prog folk and symph prog are both equally present in Harmonium's music, so it's personally hard for me to determine what to categorize them as. Mostly, I just categorize them as amazing music.

I was wondering why harmonium are categorized under "symphonic prog" and not "prog folk". I would consider Harmonium to be the ultimate prog folk band. I mean, they don't even have a drummer! What makes Harmonium symphonic prog but say, Jethro Tull prog folk? Sorry if this thread has been made before, I did a search.
