Progressive Rock France
This little-known French group were among the first real, indigenous rock bands in France to take the more experimental path. I have only heard parts of their eponymous debut album (the only one available on CD at the time), but its vocal-oriented, melodically catchy music seemed to have most in common with the blues-based early music of Family and Jethro Tull, though perhaps with a more psychedelic and French melodic touch. Arrêtez Le Monde is rumoured to be more progressive.
