Syncope
Self-Titled / Éponyme
* autographed by the band members *
Productions CRAM MP-1077, 1981 original issue PRIVATE pressing Canada Stereo
Recorded in the late 70's near the end of the golden age of Quebec prog, Syncope's only album wasn't released until 1981. By the early 80's the progressive era had pretty much dried up, and with no air play and no distribution, the vinyl LP vanished quickly into obscurity (and sadly, it's never received a digital re-issue). Yet, the 7-piece progressive-jazz-brass-rock band was brilliant....arguably the best group to come out of the Hull-Gatineau area of Quebec (CANO excluded, as most of those members were from Ontario).
** The cover is signed by six band members (a couple of the signatures are very faint but still legible)
Un très bon groupe de l'Outaouais (Hull-Gatineau) offrant du jazz-rock-progressif concocté dans la tête du compositeur François Groulx. Au début, il s'agissait d'une équipe qui accompagnait la chanteuse Micheline Scott, puis ce fut Micheline Scott et Syncope pour finalement aboutir à Syncope tout court. Ils ont également participé au collectif Connivence. Comme leur nom l'indique, on a droit à un son très travaillé et riche. De très belles harmonies de cuivres inspirées sans doute du groupe "Chicago".
La raison que Syncope n'a pas percé est sans doute dûe au fait qu'ils ont attendu 4 à 5 années passé le haut de leur vague pour enregistrer et lancer leur seul et unique album. Ceci dit, Syncope demeure un petit bijou qui mérite d'être entendu. Syncope est peut-être le meilleur ensemble que l'Outaouais ait produit.
