Langlois, Jerome - Molignak CD
SKU
ProgQuebec 08
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 also has traces of chamber-rock bands like Julverne, Cro-Magnon, Gatto Marte, etc. "We normally stick to reissues, but this CD was so good we had to release it ourselves! Molignak is the first new release by Jrme Langlois, co-founder of Maneige, in twenty years. Featuring members of Maneige, Conventum, Octobre, and others, it is an exciting and fresh musical exploration informed by progressive rock, jazz, chamber music, contemporary classical, and film scores. The same musical ambition and inspiration that resulted in the classic Maneige albums Maneige and Les Porches is alive and well in Molignak, a beautiful, exotic, and adventurous musical suite arranged for piano, clarinets, guitar, violin, cello, bass, and drums. This is the first non-reissue by the ProgQuebec label and accompanies Mr. Langlois' return to live performances." [ProgQuebec]
