Monument is a legendary French band from the 1970s, who came into their own with the release of their eponymous album in 1970. The sound of the Hammond organ is positively superb, and the rhythm section is impressive, making this rare opus one of the crème de la crème of French progressive rock.
The band's English lyrics are sung by Michy Vals, who also plays rhythm guitar, followed by Patrick Famechon on bass, Tony Laguerre on beet, Joël Averbouch as lead guitarist, and Lou Lou Laguerre on organ and piano. They were signed to the AFA label (Artistes Français Associés).
