Yeah, have you listened to a post-Harmonium album called Fiori-Seguin - Deux Cent Nuits À l'Heure, which features pretty much the Harmonium lineup?

"Not as good tho?"
Maybe, but they're close enough to be the actual Harmonium, so you could actually say that they did release stuff post L'heptade

Fiori Seguin playlist is not in the good order on youtube, and it's missing one song called ''Ça Fait Du Bien'', I give you the link here;
''Ça Fait Du Bien''; '' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgn19ng3JpM
For me, every song is great, but if I have to pick up the greatest, it would be ''Ça Fait Du Bien'','Illusion'', ''Viens Danser'' and ''La Guitare Des Pays D'En Haut'' (no specific order). Album offers numbers of nod and wink to Harmonium for sure, but we have half-and-half material from two composers. Harmonium's mastermind Fiori and Seguin who is a famous pop rock folk songwriter in Québec. There are definitely quality Harmonium's leftovers.
Here is the album (remember, songs are not in the good order);

This is one of those rare jewels that can give you a brand new appreciation for what music can accomplish. A masterpiece.

Guitars around 4:30 of Le Premier Ciel are one of my favorite moments in music. Wish the album had more of that.

Yes, Fiori has always priorized acoustic 12 string guitar. There's still another interesting electric guitar passage in the ending of ''Lumières de Vie''. Vocals that come after the guitar solo of ''Le Premier Ciel'' is really enticing too, in the air and the lyrics departments.
I assume you've listened to L'Heptade XL...The tapes containing the original recordings that the band lost during a moving was found again in 2015, so Harmonium decided to remix and remaster it all, naming it XL (40 years)...Every instrument is now more in relief. It really sounds improved compared to what we are used to.

Tbh i like the 76 version better than XL version

Album Rating: 5.0
i have to disagree. XL version sounds crystal clear, to the point that the instruments, the vocal harmonies and words are now clearly audible. Drums are now well balanced. They are not too loud into the mix anymore.
|

I own XL and it does give details like the bass guitar more presence but it's also more compressed, which is why I prefer to listen to the original. I also don't understand why they removed the first part of that great bassline in the middle of Comme un fou (around 4:20).

Well they removed one note or two from the bassline. It sounds cool with the snare echoing alone. About the album being more compressed, maybe you're right, now that I relisten to some passages. Long live the original L'Heptade, in this case.
