Customer Reviews
One of Maneige's Very Best
It's a terrific instrumental prog album, with a very warm, organic sound, and very complex songwriting, although the tracks are short. There is plenty of atmosphere, this amusic always brings to mind a foggy day in Quebec's beautiful countryside. The music, although a melange of symphonic prog, Canterbury and fusion, has some distinctive Quebec folk overtones. Highly enjoyable and highly recommended.
Note: Maneige and Les Porches are also out now on ProgQuebec label. If you like this one, you will l-o-v-e the other two!
A Great Album
This album rules. Amazing song writing, and musicianship. If they ever release Maneige,and Les Porches on CD, Life will be complete.
Fantastic Canadian Prog!
Thank goodness for the ProgQuebec label releasing albums from one of the best Canadian progressive rock bands from the 1970's, Maneige. This is their third album and finds the band in an era of transition from the highly detailed and elaborately structured symphonic prog of their first two albums to a more immediate fusion style but still encompassing all the most technically accomplished details of their earlier work with the shorter and more direct song style. This album is probably a little more rhythmically oriented and propulsive than their previous work and manage to convey an instrumentally driven joy and pleasure in performing highly intricate and technically sophisticated prog using flute, sax, vibes, guitar, and piano swinging and twisting over a bed of ever changing and propulsive bass, drum and atmospheric mellotron. this is an entirely instrumental album of classically trained musicians lying somewhere between the sophistication of Gentle Giant and Return to Forever; with a melodic intelligence to rival either band.There is a remarkably high standard of excellent songwriting and invention throughout exhibiting a high standard of craftsmanship even among progressive bands. This band is truly a great find for me and represents a great wealth of fantastic music from Canada.
