Et Cetera (France, Canada)) -Et Cetera (1976)FANTASTIC JAZZY PROG & SWEET FRENCH FEMALE VOCALS!!


"A French-Canadian progressive band, Et Cetera will undoubtedly appeal to "Gentle Giant" fans. The major difference being though the vocals , as we have here a female vocalist, and a good one too.

Very tight and impressively played music with myriads of intricasies and complexities.

Besides " Gentle Giant" there's also just a hint of "Pulsar" and "Focus" in places. In fact some of the classical and electric guitar solos reminds me a little of " Jan Akkerman"

A very nice album indeed then ,every track is really excellent with plenty of variety in the instrument department."
