Proof that there was plenty going on in the Canadian scene at the start of the 70s – an amazing little album that blends fuzzy guitar, experimental poetry, electronics, and lots of other weird touches – all in a sound that's as mindblowing as it is hard to describe! The album's the brainchild of poet Claude Peloquin and Stockhausen student Jean Sauvageau – a percussionist at heart, and a musician with a great ear for some of the fuzzier, more drumlike elements of Stockhausen's music. Peloquin's poetry is delivered in both English and French, and is pretty offbeat overall – almost without referent to more familiar American modes, especially on a record like this. The production is great – filled with lots of weird touches – and titles include "Emiliano", "Black Spaghetti", "Le Cirque", "Monsieur L'Indien", "Sterilization", "Down The Drain", and "Les Grands Silencieux". CD also features 2 bonus tracks – "L'Hotel Dieu" and "Les Bottes De St-Tite".
