(Psych-Folk, Pop-Prog, Jazz-Rock) Canelle - Canelle - 1978 (2016), MP3, 320 kbps

#777http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/canelle/canelle/ :
French Folk Rock band from Laval.The main core apparently consisted of Claude Renon (vocals, guitar), Paul Faure (piano), Jean-Luc Leray (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Robert Le Gall (bass), but their lone self-titled album (1978, Editions Pluriel) was recorded with various guest members, the drummer was Bertrand Renaudin plus there were also participants on cello, vocals, percussion and sax.''Canelle'' fails to distinguish itself from the mass of French/French-speaking Folk Rock albums and what really shines through was an unpredictable use of synths throughout the electroacoustic compositions, main components of which were the sensitive vocals, soft drumming and discreet bass work.Too poppy for my tastes, although the synth layers add a surprising Fusion touch at moments, however the emphasis remains still a hyper-elaborate style of soft Prog/Folk with melodic lines and few instrumental parts.Borderline entry in a Prog Rock collection and more specialized for fans of sweet French Folk Rock.Faure and Le Gall later joined Gwendal, although at completely different periods.
