On the surface it would appear Ungava would be yet another power trio, given their guitar-bass-drums lineup. But the two guest musicians, one on keys and the other on sax/flute appear to have far more than cameo appearances as seemingly they are part of the band, perhaps leaving just prior to release and being relegated to "guest". This is one of Quebec's finest, recalling Opus 5 or Maneige in places, but with the added strong guitar work. Maybe not Frank Marino or Walter Rossi strong, but still some high quality six stringing going on among the complex progressive rock compositions. An exceptionally great album.
