Getting back in character with the early days of Ambiances Magnétiques (I’m meaning bands like Conventum, Wondeur Brass, Les Granules, et al)
“The Hotel At The End Of The Earth” is not only an unlikely name for a band, but also offers an unlikely music, a mixture of baroque, folk and jazz musics, that is arguably the pure essence of French Canadian music.
