Description

Contraction

" Contraction " (self-titled / éponyme)

 

 

1972 Columbia FS-735, original issue (Canada) Stereo

 

Following the premature death of Franck Dervieux (one of Quebec's founding fathers of progressive rock ...and the man who recorded the groundbreaking "Dimension M"),  his bandmates on that album re-christened themselves as Contraction, and continued in the same direction........recording two progressive rock gems.

 

Still noticeably influenced by Franck Dervieux (who though very ill, does appear on this debut LP.......* but he didn't live to hear it's completion), this debut is lighter than their second release.    Quieter, pastoral and symphonic (à la Renaissance or Fairport Convention) with beautiful haunting vocals from Christine Robichaud.......yet still with sizzling guitar solos,  driving bass lines and great percussion.

 

Yves Laferriere (bass),  Robert Lachapelle (piano, synthesizers),  Christiane Robichaud (flute & vocals),  Robert Stanley (electric guitars),  Rawn Bankley (acoustic guitar), Marcel Huot,  Christian St. Roch & Denis Farmer on drums,  Michel Seguin (congas, percussion), and Franck Dervieux (organ).
