    ABOUT THE DESCRIPTIONS

    What are these descriptions supposed to be ?

    By clicking on a title you will find a short text that describes it. The texts are not written from a critical point of view. They try to present de discs objectively, very briefly and with a constructive outlook. All were written based on close listens with the specific intent to produce such descriptions. You will find indications on the origine, the line-up, the instrumentation and the style of the productions. WARNING: As a listener, I don't pay much attention to the meaning of the vocals I hear.

    Which titles are included ?

    Of course, the selection of titles is subjected to limitations. First, most of them were produced in the 1990's. The ones that were not, are releases that I have just recently discovered. Consequently, all description were written within the context of discovering new music. Most of the classic prog releases from the 1970's are therefore absent from the list, even if they are occasionally used as references. Finally, since I can't possibly own all the described titles, I wish to thank Michel Gendron from La Boîte Musicale (local prog shop) for his cooperation and trust.

    Who wrote the description and what does he know ?

    I have been listening to music for some 30 years. I grew up listening to classic prog from the 1970's. By the 1980's, I was expanding my listening habits to most varieties of rock. In the 1990's, I have re-discovered progressive rock and started enjoying classical music. I now listen to many different kinds of music. I have no formal musical training but am nevertheless familiar with some of its technical and technological aspects. My perspective can be described as that of an informed listener.
