Релиз и рип от Pollux'a (с его ведома и разрешения) Contraction - Contraction Live 1974 - 2009 (ProgQuebec MPM33)ashratom (RYM): Can't really add much to my friend Jim's review, as he captures the salient points perfectly. But since I'm here, some other notes...
"Live 1974" is a splendid radio recording, perhaps even better than the studio recordings proper. Most of the material is taken from their terrific debut, with the lengthy title track of the second representing the tour de force. Opening track is the English version of 'Chant Patriotique' from the first album, and since I've not heard the English version of the album, it's interesting to hear it with the different vocal inflections. As if to underscore that point, the second track does a bit of franglais, as it mixes French first / English second, which is entirely unique. Then there's the three unreleased tracks: 'Solid Shine', ' Le Temps Fuit comme une Ombre', and 'Sagesse' (and the latter also gets the studio version treatment), that are all unmistakably Contraction, and great to hear after all these years. The live renditions play it pretty straight to the original album recordings, but it's still a superb performance, with perhaps better sound, and unreleased material. Definitely a worthy addition to the collection.
