Album: Légende - Deuxième Époque (1989)(Compilation Reissue 2004)
Genre: Prog Folk (Auvergnat Folk Music)  /  France

This is actually a compilation album, taking in the band's music from Almanach on. There are a few live tracks, but it's mostly studio work. All vocals are in French. Progressive folk, with traditional elements from the Breton (Brittany) section of France (near the coast of England. Gabriel Racoub's vocals and leadership shine throughout this compilation. Interesting mix of old instruments (recorders, violins, hurdy gurdy, etc) and electric instruments (bass, drums, etc). Good liner notes are included, with photos and notes describing each song.
