Two years have passed since the release of Triangle's first album in 1970 with a super hit at the key, "Maybe tomorrow", an unmissable and legendary success of the group which remains composed of Gérard Fournier known as "Papillon" (bass player and lead vocals), Jean-Pierre Prévotat (drums), Marius Lorenzini "Mimi" (guitar) and François Jeanneau (sax, keyboards), the multi-instrumentalist of the group.
The album is presented this time in a rock atmosphere more melodious than the with 9 new titles, all of which The texts are in French. Not easy to Triangle and their record label to create a second opus when we sold the still wondering what title locomotive will be able to promote the new album? The bet was met! The first 45 rpm record "Viens avec nous", from the album, takes a path comparable to "Maybe Tomorrow".
Even if the sales score doesn't reach its predecessor, this single will allow the public to to continue to love and to make people discover the Quartet. Among the 9 new compositions, These include the superb song "Litanies", certainly the prettiest melody of the band's career and "J'ai vu" which masterfully opens this album and which became the second single to which we added on the B side the last track "La pâte grise".
Although excellent this album, will not have the popular reception of "Peut-être demain" or of "Come with us". This release offers 7 other bonus tracks that are "The Old Man's Tales" and "The brumes de Chatou" (1971), single that followed "Maybe tomorrow" and which precedes "Come with us". Let us nevertheless point out a very great success for "Les brumes de Chatou", one of the best titles in the repertoire of Triangle. Then "L'arbre de juin" and "A cor and screaming" were also marketed in 1972 behind the single "J'ai vu" while "Confusion", which is not among the 9 tracks of the album, is engraved on the B-side of "Viens with us". Finally, 2 titles from 1971, the Spanish versions of "Come with us" and "The confusion".
In 1973, Gérard Fournier left the band for a solo career and recorded in 1974. A very beautiful album whose titles are plume de Boris Bergman. Triangle recorded a last opus in 1973, the group going from 4 to 5 musicians. This second album presented under a cover opening, with a rather creative assembly for period, remains musically the best of the career of the group.
