Morse Code - La marche des hommes / Précréation / Qu'est-ce t'es v'nu faire ici

This video is for the purpose of entertainment only. Read more...
Imagery for this video is sourced from photos/scans (jacket/cover, labels etc) of my original Canadian vinyl pressings of Morse Code - "Le Marche Des Hommes" (1975) Capitol ST-70.038, and Morse Code "Procréation" (1976) Capitol SKAO 70.046.

Morse Code bio (The bulk of this bio was written by Hugues Chantraine)...
This Quebecois band has three phases. First came the psych period under which they were known as MORSE CODE TRANSMISSION and made two psych albums in 71 & 72 sung in English, and both are highly collectable. The second phase saw their names shortened to simple MORSE CODE, and with the Quebec prog explosion under way decided to switch to French singing. The three albums that followed are real gems of progressive music oscillating between GENESIS and BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST but the French texts (sometimes highly impressive) gave them a sound of their own. They disbanded, as the disco wave became a Tsunami in La Belle Province Quebec, only to reform in 1983 to make a best-forgotten English-sung album and again in 95 for a much better one again in French.

MORSE CODE is really recommended to fans of 70's symphonic progressive rock but the albums are somewhat hard to find on vinyl. Though their first three albums have seen CD reissue recently on the Canadian "ProgQuebec" label.

Band line-up:

Christian Simard (keyboards, vocals)
Jocelyn Julien (guitar)
Daniel Lemay (guitars, flute)
Raymond Roy (drums)
Michel Vallée (bass, vocals)

More good stuff...I really liked their first two LP's...more psychedelic than this...but this is also very good symphonic rock. Procreation knocks it outta the park...another excellent upload Dr. Guru!! You wouldn't happen to have some of that Morse Code Transmission II from 72 you'd like to share?? ;o) Peace Dr.

Yes...I actually still have a nice copy of that 2nd Morse Code Transmission LP. I never really cared for their debut LP all that much, and I think I may have traded or sold it years ago. Kind of regret that now, even though it was never a favourite. You're correct...their earlier stuff had a more hard rock/psych sound. I'll have to get around to ripping the vinyl at some point int time, as I don't own that one on CD.

Glad you enjoyed the video :)
