Tragedy centered around mental illness where each song brings forth a variation and
an aspect of the disease displayed on songs like 'La Ballade Des Gens Heureux', based
on the life of Virginia Woolf. The artwork created by Travis Smith (Opeth, Katatonia,
Anathema and more) captures perfectly the struggle that people afflicted with mental
illness must face.

psych, 'Le Grand Jeu' and 'Le Prince Croule'. The third ('Dionysos' aka 'Changé

touches.

RTA 063 SLOCHE J'UN OEIL LP 11.2019
Remastered reissue of debut album by French Canadian progressive rock band in the
vein of the Canterbury scene, Soft Machine, Hatfield & The North, Caravan, etc...
Originally released in 1975. There is a world of difference between the original
1971 Sloche lineup and the one that appeared on record, so much so that one could
be misled to believe that two groups existed, both using the same name. Between
original members Pierre Bouchard (keyboards), Jacques Collin (bass), Fernand Pare
(drums) and Marcel Perigny (guitar), only Perigny appeared elsewhere in Quebec's
progressive history as member of South Gate 24. The original lineup gradually
transformed into the one which recorded the two masterpieces 'J'un Oeil' (1975) and
'Stadacone' (1976). A superb debut, the first band offering 'J'un Oeil' gives off
traces of a musical environment imbibed with both Canterbury-ish influences (Caravan,
Soft Machine) and jazz-funk territory, while giving a few discrete nods, here and
there to Gentle Giant.

Jean-Guy "Arthur" Cossette, La Révolution Française burst forth in the same year on
their debut album 'C.Cool'. Beatlesque arrangements and crafty choruses on the

Dionysos's first album 'Le Grand Jeu' (1971) is one of the must-hear classics of
Québec rock. Sung in colloquial French, drifting somewhere between swampy blues-rock
and the emerging prog aesthetic, with some flute passages and a liberal dose of
Hammond organ, it is likely the heaviest record made until then in the entire French
-speaking world.

Harmonium, Offenbach and Maneige. While not achieving quite the legendary status
of their peers Octobre's thoughtful approach to local socio-political issues combined
with complexities in musical structure gave them a sound which was more parallel to
contemporary progressive rock bands from the UK particularly Gentle Giant, Genesis
as well as early King Crimson.
