Bregent

Partir Pour Ailleur

Released in 1979, this album features the Bregent brothers, Jacques on vocals and Michel-Georges (also of the duo Dionne-Bregent) on keys. M-G also composed most of the music. Jacques was the leader of this project, however, and his interest lay in making sure classic French poetry (from Quebec as well as France) continued to be heard by setting it to music. The music is quite adventurous and influenced by modern classical and minimalism as much as rock, while Jacques vocals are dramatic, soothing, jarring, evocative. A rather obscure but excellent set of compositions, this reissue includes most of a concert recorded in 1977 that is among the only live footage known to exist of this group.
