When one thinks of prog rock from Canada, one might think of Rush, Saga, or FM. Now let me add on Quebec’s Claude Léveillée. Here’s a guy I know very little of, and he seems to be known only in French-Canadian circles. He seemed to have quite a prolific recording career stretching back to the early ’60s. But with his 1978 album _Black Sun_, he went the prog rock route, with him on piano, and Michel LeFrançois handling the synthesizers, with help from a drummer and bassist. No, this isn’t what I call a mindblowing prog rock album, but if you like instrumental prog rock in the vein of many French artists you might find on the Musea label, you might enjoy this album. And if you’re not too gung-ho about Rush because they’re too metal, or Saga because they’re too mainstream, you won’t have a problem with this album, as it stick strictly in the late ’70s prog rock vein. Nice album,
