Images & Avant-Quart – Le Dernier Jour D'Un Condamné (1979, LP, France)

Obscure French folk/symphonic rock band which released one self-titled album in 1977, followed 2 years later by Le Dernier Jour D'Un Condamné on which they collaborate with Avant Quart.
Members are: Jean-Pierre Haure on bass and guitar, Marc Girard on drums, Georges Valat on guitar, flute, harmonica and vocals, André Dion on guitar, mandolin, vocals, Marc Peynet on keyboards and percussionist Titus.
Music on the debut is lightly folk rock mixed with a bit of symphonic style and a few more dark moments with eclectic overtones. Compositions are most often driven by acoustic guitars and piano passages - with a few twists. Their debut album can be recommended for enthusiasts of French symphonic rock with a big dose of nostalgia who are searching for something unknown. (progarchives)
