(Neo-prog) Daniel Gauthier - The Wish (2008), FLAC (image+.cue+artwork) lossless

Born in 1959 in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada, DANIEL GAUTHIER has been writing music since his early teenage years. After a series of experiences as a member of local bands, always trying to reconcile his passion for progressive music with the necessities of daily life, in 1991 he founded the YES tribute band Parallels. At that time he had the opportunity to meet legendary guitarist STEVE HOWE, and discuss the experience with him. In the following years he set up his own home recording studio, and in 1997, in spite of growing financial difficulties, he managed to release his debut album, "En ce jour et pour toujours", recorded with the help of drummer Richard Bergeron, a former bandmate of his.

His second album, "Above the Storm", came in 2000, after GAUTHIER had left his day job as a janitor in order to devote all his time and energy to making music. In spite of the positive feedback received by the album, further financial setbacks ensued, and the artist was forced back into finding work in order to make ends meet. In 2003, however, he met the woman who would become his life partner, and this encounter gave him the necessary strength to continue pursuing his art. "The Wish", finally released on CD at the end of 2008, is the fruit of years of back-breaking work, and GAUTHIER's never-flagging faith in his musical dream.
