The French connection

CONNEXION-CONNEXION-

This outfit from Montreal Quebec released this album in 1976 in the wave of great Canadian Hard/prog/Classic rock Music. The odd thing in this mixture may just be the french lyrics and vocals. I don´t understand a thing what´s going on but it sounds just fabulous!!  🙂

The production is as Always top notch when it comes to records from RCA Victor from Canada. The guitars interact terrific with the vocals and the drums sound´s like heaven. Emidio “Peanut” Virrillo on lead vocals and guitar just sounds like a firealarm and possess a great drive in his vocals.The guitar solos together with Bassplayer Michel Barbier just let those notes fly away in a great way which gives this album a well deserved “swing”. Splendid work!!

Whatabout the drummer, Salvatore Toto Sciortino?? Great striking abilities is the first thing that hits you and together with the bassplayer they create a steady Foundation. The hitratio and Dynamics is over avarage but nothing to bring home to the table. The drive is a bit anxious and maybe he´s trying to be more fierce than necessery. Nothing to upset you but as I said not impressive either.

As it´s hard to find any real good information about this band there´s Little I can contribute with besides this, if you´re in for solid Hard/prog/Classic rock Music and if you don´t mind the french vocals it´s a done deal. Great copies of this album is out there for a descent dollar and the recommendation is to trust your gut. This is a great record!!
