MB>> Echolyn was quite a bad prog revival. 
 KN>         It didn't help that Sony had no real committment there,

Real bad. They sabotaged it. We could write conspiracy theories about
some people not liking prog and do everything necessary to stop it from
being repopularized.
 KN>         I thinks there's always been a profound ambivalence 
 KN>         towards prog in Quebec, on the one hand its so deeply 
 KN>         ingrained in the popular music culture of Quebec, and on 
 KN>         the other hand musicians want to move forward and may see 
 KN>         being tagged with the prog brush as weighting them down 
 KN>         or burdening them with the past, it's perhaps tied to 
 KN>         seeing prog as excessively "hippy" and not sophisticated 
 KN>         enough. 
That's my feeling.
So few people know Miriodor in Quebec.
So few people want Miriodor in Quebec.
Even though it has little to do with Genesis or Harmonium or such bands
that were popular here.
 KN>         For some reason I constantly confuse Hungarian language 
 KN>         and Finn, perhaps because they are both utterly 
 KN>         incomprehensible, perhaps even evidence that earth has 
 KN>         been visited by intelligent life from other planets. 
rotfl!
 MB>> btw, Miriodor and H”yry-Kone often sound alike. But not that often. 
 KN>         90's RIO with an edge? 
Yeah! And I'd put Mr. Bungle as a common influence to those two.
 MB>> Happy Family's 2nd album, a little softer than the first (grin) 
 KN>         Yeah, right.... :-) 
Well, the soft parts are softer, the hard parts hit harder.
A new H”yry-Kone will be at my favorite music shop next week, i've been
told that they're going way crazier than before.
