: Épiphonde 2
2004
“I enjoyed this CD a lot and wish I had checked them
out sooner. These guys could make a great movie score for
a '70s action film. I could almost picture car race scenes
in my head while some of this was playing. It's nice to know
that progressive rock, feedback, and jazz can meld together
so nicely. Great album.” [HERE], janurary 6th, 2005,

Zrn't'trn
: Épiphonde 1
Impish, non-Christian, non-conformist. Here is an Acadian product
different from the rest. Zn’T’trn is the group’s
second effort. They take in various musical universes where
improvisation is key. It reveals a spectre of different musical
styles from jazz to alternative... (...) While listening to
Zn’T’trn (Epiphonde I) of Païens, we discover
little treasures on a variety of musical levels.” M.

Phonde
1999
“Païens have just released Ep Phone, a first CD
for this trio composed of Denis Surette, Jean Surette and
Marc “Chops” Arsenault. Armed with
intelligent imagination, an incredible integrity, and a striking
cynicism, the Moncton group presents eclectic music from which
the roots run
back to the good years of Frank Zappa and King Crimson (...).”
