DEAD LINKS

NOTE : DEAD LINKS
We'd like to thank everyone for preventing us of dead links. For the moment, we are note able to re-up them.

Feel free to keep on preventing us of those dead links. We will update them when we (I and Jeb-E-Diah) have more time to (understand : from september). Some of them will be partially or completely repacked considering albums which would have been issued thereafter and surely with new and improved artworks.

Stay tuned !

HARMONIUM (ABO#359)

HARMONIUM
COMME 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.









My HARMONIUM TOP3 :
1- Comme Si On Avait Besoin D'Une Cinquième Saison (1975)
2- L'Heptade (1976)
3- Harmonium (1974)

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!!!!
