Conventum
A L'Affut D'un Complot



Label: Prog Quebec
Country: Canada

First released in 1977, guitarist Andre Duchesne's Conventum project also featured guitarist Rene Lussier and Jean-Pierre Bouchard, who played a variety of guitars and mandolins. All of these players went on to be part of Les Quatre Guitaristes de L'Apocalpso-bar, who had releases on Recommended Records UK, and they have continued to be prolific, inventive and creative musicians ever since. For Duchesne and Lussier this was one of their first significant projects, and they created an incredibly affecting and compelling band. Falling somewhere between progressive/chamber rock, folk and contemporary classical, they're a natural to fit into the R.I.O. aesthetic of eclecticism, brilliance in playing, and a balance of serious and humorous writing. Their music is both electric and acoustic, with a mix of songs and instrumentals, giving more of an instrumental feel overall. The pieces are intricate and well orchestrated, using accessible structures that makes the songs deceptively simple yet sophisticated. The album flows beautifully, an absorbing set of music and song. My only regret regarding this band is that they lasted only two albums; both of the Conventum releases are personal favorites that I'v returned to countless times over the year. Could I give more of a recommendation?
