Description
Yves Cloutier & Richard Toupin
" Yves et Toup "
Trans-World International T1-6024, 1975 Stereo (Canada)
Scarce undiscovered gem....pressed locally in very small numbers with only limited distribution. Virtually unknown even in their native French Canada, this Richard Toupin & Yves Cloutier collaboration resulted in only one obscure long play masterpiece.
A Xian folk-rock-psych stunner….. a blend of beautifully smooth vocal harmonies, haunting acoustic guitars, flutes, & synths, with great interplay, swirling progressive arrangements and some spacey psych-tinged vibes.
Reminiscent of Harmonium's folk-rock debut, but with a vibe similar to the two progressive-folk gems recorded by the obscure bands Ajour and Shawi around the same time (French lyrics, but with lots of long instrumental passages).
* the value of this collectable has been climbing rapidly in the last couple of years...and with good reason (recent auction results: HERE)
Très rare microsillon de la francophonie acoustique (progressive) chrétienne.
C’est après avoir travaillé comme comédien et musicien à La Roulotte du Service des Parcs de Montréal ainsi qu’au Théâtre du Nouveau Monde que Richard Toupin est engagé comme bassiste et choriste derrière Robert Charlebois pour la grande tournée du Québec, la production d’un disque et des prestations en Europe. Après quelques expériences avec d’autres artistes québécois, il entreprend une carrière en duo avec Yves Cloutier. Résultat ! ....ce merveilleux bijou…..un folk acoustique progressif psyché de toute beauté, et délicieux à l’écoute.
