Harmonium XLV - 45th anniversary remix

**Progatron** · 12-07-2019

Grabbed the new reissue of this tasty little folk/prog classic debut for $9.99 Canadian (very reasonable!) and it sounds excellent. They took the opportunity while remixing to restore a few sections too, like Fiori's acoustic solo at the end of "Aujourd'hui, je dis bonjour à la vie", which used to fade out. Likewise with a couple of full volume starts that used to fade in. And what sounds to me like an altogether different recording of "Pour un instant", now with drums!

Different enough to not be a replacement, but recommended for sure to any fans.

Any bonus (outside the 100 000 Raisons, which wasn't on the vinyl)?

Extended booklet??

No bonus tracks, and in fact the 100,000 Raisons single is not on this edition. But it all sounds quite nice, and I like a couple of the changes (I don't usually like things to change with a remix). For example, my favourite track Vieilles Courroies is improved by the hard start, instead of slowly fading in.

I'm quite happy to have both versions of this classic.

It would be nice to have “Un refrain parmi tant d’autres,” which I don’t think has ever been officially released.

100 000 raisons won't miss me, as I think it was a subpar bonus.... Which should've been included at the end of the album, not in the middle (between the twxo vinyl sides)

and booklet-wise?

Isn't this a working version of "Un musicien parmi tant d'autres"?
