HARMONIUMCOMME UN SAGE
(1974-1978)
"How the Hell can such a band be so good!" I could have made the same centenses than with Kula Shaker. Those two bands are however completely different, but their very short and intense discography made me begin their two posts by this same centence.
Harmonium is a three-piece band of acoustic folk. During their history, the three guys became 5 and then 7 with their great last double LP "L'Heptade". With only three albums from their very first eponymous, very acoustic folk songs, to their third and last, an ambitious folk prog conceptual album, this evomution doesn't disturb much as Serge Fiori's singing is widely recognisable and gives Harmonium's music its own identity.
By the end of their Heptade tour, Fiori had become like a hippy guru in his land, Quebec, felt a bit tired and decided to retire. That's how the Harmonium's story ended up.

Magnifique et excellente idée
d'avoir exhumé ce bon vieux groupe dont les envolées acoustiques m'ont emballé dans les 70's.
Merci

Ce BAISTOPHE, pourtant magnifique, aurait du tout simplement reproduire les trois albums... Merci!!!!
