4 stars Once upon a time... A Canadian prog band lead by Pierre Flynn, Octobre were one of the major progressive bands in Quebec more precisely. Despite a rather chaotic career and production, they released a pure gem, "Survivance" in 1975 which is still not available on the CD form. I'm still wondering why because French speaking fans will enjoy the gorgeous lyrics of 'Suvivance', close to Atoll's fabulous 'Le Cerf volant' (in "Tertio" 1977) or 'L'oiseau rouge'. The other fans will like a very personal kind of prog in the 'French tradition' (theatrical and poetic chansons with instrumental developments in the way of Ange) showing influences such as King Crimson in awesome instrumental tracks which supports this superb melancholy singer.
