Blais, Jacques
Themes
This Québecois guitarist released this mostly instrumental album back in 1975. Features most of the members of Contraction at the time of their second album, 'La Bourse Ou La Vie'. More specifically it's produced by Yves Laferrière and features him on bass, Lachapelle on keys, Perrotte on drums and Christiane Robichaud on vocals on various tracks. Jacques Blais sings and plays guitar. The material has some similarities to Contraction but Blais is a more prominent presence than Robert Stanley was on the Contraction albums, and there aren't really any pop influences, just a slightly funky but mostly ethereal atmospheric progressive rock. Reissued for the first time on CD, and remastered from the original tapes.
