Conventum
Le Bureau Central des Utopies



Label: Prog Quebec
Country: Canada

The second release from Conventum, originally released in 1979, and sadly their last release. Conventum was guitarist Andre Duchesne's Conventum project, and 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. Going further than their first release, this album sets a high standard in writing and playing, and is an incredibly satisfying release. The CD contains two long additional tracks, one live and one studio recording. Exceptional music that I've relied on for years...
