A real surprise to find a 35 year old, excellent sound quality live concert recording from this short-lived but excellent band.

"What a long-forgotten treasure!!! Contraction entered Montreal's Studio Tempo during the winter of 1974, in order...

It makes me very, very happy to see this album released. This is one of the major one-shot Quebeçois progressive releases of the 1970s, maybe the major one. Recorded in 1972 while he was dying of cancer, and with the album dedicated to the doctors who...

Jerome Langlois is best known as the co-founder of Maneige. This is new music from him and is 25' of solo piano (nice, but...solo piano, y'know?) and 40' of a small suite for a 10 piece chamber-rock ensemble, which is quietly great...

Jerome was a founding member of the very fine Quebecois band Maneige, writing and performing on their 1st two albums, which were some of the band's highlights. For the last 30 years, he's been doing soundtrack-type work, and it reflects that, but it al...

When ProgQuebec first started, one of my first requests to them was "can you reissue the two Harvest-label Maneige titles"? Maneige had a few periods and styles, but these two albums, their first two, were the most largely orchestrated (the band were a...

“This album is an unreleased gem professionally recorded in 1979. It contains the unreleased track La debarbouillette and the lone never reissued track from their live album Composite, Max

Great sounding live, archival release from the period when Miriodor were a trio ("Miriodor" and "3rd Warning"). Both of these albums are unfortunately out of print at this time, so it's also the only way to currently hear this period of the band's...

"One of the foremost Quebec prog bands of their day, Morse Code's discography has sold over 100,000 copies and earned them fans around the world. These highly anticipated reissues were green-lighted by EMI Music Canada, remastered from the original stereo masters, feature 12-page booklets and include band composer Christian Simard as executive producer. This, their first Capitol album, features their biggest hits, the symphonic disco instrumental Cocktail for the mass market, and the eleven-minute title...

"Who in 1973 would have thought that the recordings on the just-released soundtrack was the genesis of one of Quebec's favorite bands as we know it? In fact, this album (one of the least promoted of Offenbach's discography, with none of its tracks...

Offenbach were a long lived Quebeçois progressive / progressive hard band whose history reaches back into the early 60s. This is their fourth album and was originally a double and is included here with tons of bonus live material...

"Former keyboardist for both Ville Emard Blues Band and Toubabou, Yvan Ouellet surprised everyone in 1979 with a peaceful and jazzy album which struck a chord within its seven songs. Ouellet is accompanied by former bandmates Yves Laferrière...

"Polygone was formed around three former members of ‘70s Québec progressive rock group Incubus (since reunited as ExCubus with two albums also available through ProgQuébec): Marc Delage (guitars, vocals, bass, piano and mellotron), Michel Phaneuf (synthesizers, clavinet, mellotron and vocals), and Pierre Poulet (guitar and bass), who were joined by Claude Phaneuf (guitars and bass) and Luc Proulx (drums) in 1979; the group remains active until 1983 (also the year André Barrière replaced Claude Phaneuf...

Excellent progressive/jazz-rock band from Montreal who recorded two extremely well regarded and hugely sought-after albums in the mid 1970s and who then basically dissapeared without a trace. To me, they combine elements of Canterbury jazz-rock with...

First-time ever on CD for this early Quebeçois progressive rock album. This includes both covers (the one that got them in trouble with them on the cover of a faked "Allo Police" (Quebec's tatty scandal rag, ala National Enquirer) and the replacement...
