Remastered reissue of debut album by French Canadian progressive rock band in the vein of the Canterbury scene, Soft Machine, Hatfield & The North, Caravan, etc... Originally released in 1975. There is a world of difference between the original 1971 Sloche lineup and the one that appeared on record, so much so that one could be misled to believe that two groups existed, both using the same name. Between original members Pierre Bouchard (keyboards), Jacques Collin (bass), Fernand Pare (drums) and Marcel Perigny (guitar), only Perigny appeared elsewhere in Quebec's progressive history as member of South Gate 24. The original lineup gradually transformed into the one which recorded the two masterpieces 'J'un Oeil' (1975) and 'Stadacone' (1976). A superb debut, the first band offering 'J'un Oeil' gives off traces of a musical environment imbibed with both Canterbury-ish influences (Caravan, Soft Machine) and jazz-funk territory, while giving a few discrete nods, here and there to Gentle Giant.
