L'Infonie were a collective of like-minded individuals from montreal, canada that were quite and interesting group. they were all said to be lucid dreamers and all were working together on various arts, mostly music but there were playwrights, poets, sculpture artists, painters, etc. in their ranks. boasting up to 33 members, this collective only released 4 recordings, all ranging from funky jazz fusion to free-jazz to krauty rock. each of the releases led you to believe there were many, many more to be found (the titles are all volumes numbered 3, 33, 333, and 3333 respectively), but to anyone's knowledge outside of the group there weren't.
this is their second release, entitled "Volume 33: Mantra (In C)," which is really just an adaptation of Terry Riley's famous "In C." but what an adaptation, with a very driving and tight rhythm section and fuzzed out guitars, this is the stuff lucid dreams are made of. this is the original lp rip, not the cd reissue that has an extra track (which is just the two tracks without a break in the middle for flipping sides). if you can find any of their stuff, get it (forced exposure carries vol. 3 and vol. 333).
it must have been fun to live in the late sixties and early 70's...
