Details: Amazon.ca L’Heptade, in a live and complete version: fans of Harmonium didn't even dare dream of it, as the cult band from the 70s had been so discreet since their breakup in 1978. Yet here are Serge Fiori, Louis Valois, Denis Farmer, Robert Stanley, Monique Fauteux, Serge Locat, and Libert Subirana reunited once again on record. Simply titled Harmonium en tournée, this double album is the complete testament to a concert recorded by Radio-Canada in Vancouver in 1977. The concert version of L’Heptade, composed of seven songs (“Comme un fou,” “L’Exil,” “Le Corridor,” “Lumières de vie,” etc.) inspired by the seven levels of consciousness, is therefore released on CD for the first time. Serge Fiori, Louis Valois, and Serge Locat patiently cleaned up the original tapes and transferred them to digital format, much to the delight of those nostalgic for the golden age of Quebec music. The result is impeccable, and while certain sounds and the general atmosphere betray the passage of time, one finds without a hint of boredom the inspired writing and ethereal voice of Serge Fiori; the mystical organ of Locat, the nervous bass of Valois, the crystalline timbre of Fauteux—in short, everything that made this group transmit a feeling of total harmony to its audience on stage. A witness to a bygone era, Harmonium en tournée remains, through its rigor and musical unity, an important document in which one can hear the passion, faith, and richness that inhabited this unique group. --Pascale Millot Product description 1-1 Introduction 1:30 1-2 Comme Un Fou 7:08 Chanson Noire 1-3.1 Le Bien Le Mal 4:22 1-3.2 Pour Une Blanche Cérémonie 4:10 1-4 Le Premier Ciel 20:52 2-1 L'exil 11:58 2-2 Le Corridor 3:50 Lumière De Vie 2-3.1 Lumière De Nuit 4:17 2-3.2 Lumière De Jour 2:38 2-3.3a Lumière De Vie (Première Partie) 0:51 2-3.3b Lumière De Vie (Deuxième Partie) 3:12 2-3.3c Lumière De Vie (Troisième Partie) 4:44 2-3.3d Lumière De Vie (Finale) 2:43 2-4 Comme Un Sage 15:30 / Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Vocals – Serge Fiori Drums, Percussion – Denis Farmer Electric Bass, Synthesizer [Taurus], Vocals – Louis Valois Electric Guitar – Robert Stanley Flute, Saxophone, Clarinet, Vocals – Libert Subirana Piano, Electric Piano [Rhodes], Vocals – Monique Fauteux Piano, Organ, Mellotron, Synthesizer – Serge Locat
