With Mike Phaneuf's coupling of a Hammond with a nice Arp sound, 'Bléatis' could be confused for anĮarly but less developed and polished ELP, and 'Abomination d'une quarte de triton', which would'veīeen more effective tacked onto the opener, is left hanging a bit, both cuts sounding more like Pleasing, and Mémoires incubussiennes proved one of the better vintage releases of the year. Oldies and re-recording some newies with help from a couple extra ax players. Many bands were during prog's heyday in the early 1970s, reconvened in '07 toward releasing some Matter and all the better, I mean it's music not literature. You know you've got some good old-fashioned pompous prog when the notes are strictly in French. In 2011 they released their second album ''Lagauchetière''. The band continues as a quintet, with Claude PHANEUF (guitars) and André BARRIERE (guitar) joining the original trio from POLYGONE. Before reforming, the three original members (ENGLAND, PHANEUF and DELAGE) worked in other prog acts such as SAD, IGOR and POLYGONE. Splitting in late 1971 and reforming shortly after, ENGLAND and PHANEUF were joined by Marc DELAGE (guitar, bass, voices) and in 1973 by Pierre POULET (guitars). Initially, the band consisted of Andre Deguire (guitar, vocals) and Luc Giroux (bass) along with Léo ENGLAND (drums) and Michel PHANEUF (keyboards). Strongly recommended to vintage prog collectors and Prog history buffs. Thanks to Musique Progres, those compositions along with four newly re-recorded cuts of old material will be released in late 2008 as 'Memoires Incubussiennes'. In 1974, the organist, drummer, bassist and guitarist recorded four tracks at the legendary Chateau d'Herouville in France which were never released. Another great early prog act lost to history and the musical tumult of the early 1970s, Quebec keyboard quartet ExCUBUS was one of Canada's best symphonic-era prog bands in the mold of ELP but with a rougher, more dungeon-like edge.
