*. Vos Voisins .* (Remaster+Bonus)

Album: Vos Voisins (1971)(Remaster 2011 + 2 Bonus)
Genre: Prog Rock (Psych./Symphonic/Hard Rock)  /  Canada

Really good example of a heavy organ style blues based progressive rock. This seemed to be a somewhat popular breed of music in Quebec in the early 1970s, and can also be found in other fine groups like Champignons or Dionysos. Some wonderful fat guitar leads too. High quality French vocals as well. A couple of the tracks are piano lead introspective numbers. Best track is 'Le Monstre de la Main'. There are two album covers for this title. The original "wanted poster" rendition had to be pulled, due to Polydor not receiving permission from the Allo Police tabloid to use their logo. So they went with the other brick building cover. I've had both LPs in the past, and honestly I prefer the replacement cover (and that's what I currently own). The new CD from ProgQuebec features both covers (along with two bonus tracks). Review by "ashratom" (Rate Your Music).

RATING:  8.25 / 10
