L'infonie - Vol. 333 (1972) (2001) 2CD

L'INFONIE were born as a Qu?b?cois versatile rock commune in 1967 around the initiator Ra?ul DUGUAY and the musical chief Walter BOUDREAU, just along the Qu?b?cois "multidisciplinary" music scene in those days. Quite in the vein of late-60s concentrated music essence, mixed with pop, jazz, and classic, they recorded their first creation "Vol. 3" (currently released as an eponymous one) at Andr? Perry Studio and released in 1969.

Amazingly, their soundscape had been altered moment by moment - obvious jazz rock / fusion movement and a talented American musician Terry Riley could exert pretty influence upon their second work "Vol. 33 (Mantra)", featuring a sole suite "Mantra" based upon Terry's landmark piece "In C".

Finally L'INFONIE breathed new life into Qu?b?cois progressive rock world with their third double-album "Vol. 333" released in 1972, mainly structured with more experimental / magnificent suite "Paix" occupying the entire first LP as 50 pieces of composition (plus prelude). They could stand at their peak with this stuff, that might let Ra?ul leave away for his solo career as a poet / author / songwriter soon thereafter, as a result.

Without Ra?ul, Walter must complete "Paix" project as their fourth (and the last) production named "Vol. 3333" in 1974 - the moment L'INFONIE bade farewell to the world regretfully. progarchives
