"This album is part of my personal top 100 because I can't do this band the credit it deserves if I don't put a Greatest Hits in my top A00.

"This is by far the best Harmonium album and the best Quebecois album in history. I'm clueless as why this is so underrated but l'heptade is a true masterpiece of the prog rock genre that can't be fairly appreciated after only one listen." Reply

Very romantic, poetic, melodic and melancholic old-fashioned samba, the kind you can't find anymore, because is not commercial or party-oriented. The l..." [+] Reply
