The Vinyl Vault goes to Canada, Quebec particularly, for a 1975 album from the band Maneige entitled “Les Porches,” released on the Harvest/Capitol label. The band has frequently been tagged with the progressive rock label, incorporating features of rock, jazz, people, and classical songs.
The bulk of the album includes only two music, “Les Porches de Notre Dame” and “Les Aventures De Saxinette Et Clarophone.” Yet, these instrumental compositions are damaged down into episodes and sub-areas, generating them simply digestible, even on the radio.
Maneige was 1 of the most common prog bands in Quebec in the 1970s and “Les Porches” was their second release. A extremely artistic band in terms of both quality and amount, “Les Porches” was a person of two albums the band launched in 1975.
Lots of components of “Les Porches” set up a hypnotic groove with percussion areas weaving in and out of the mix even though the woodwinds and electric powered guitars have a continuously evolving and unpredictable melody.
Did you miss the Quebec prog scene in the 1970s? Properly, that usually means you probably have hardly ever heard this band, but you will have your prospect on the following Vinyl Vault with Geoff Anderson, on Tuesday, April 9 at 8:30 pm on KUVO JAZZ.
