Just had a look round your site, it's brilliant!
Where did the VV sculpture come from, did you make it?

No, the VV sculpture was... damn, I wanted to give credit to the guy who found it for me, (and superimposed the VV logo on there) but he said no. Now I can't remember who it was! I'm sure someone here can help me out, but I believe the structure is found somewhere in Canada.

Thanks, glad you liked the site. I just moved to a better server, and increased the space to 500 MB. (I have some big plans on the way)

...It's from the MCA release-only of Nothingface, right?

I'm sure Maldo will patch things up tomorrow

Good news about upgrading your site, Tango!

I vaguely remember from years ago that there used to be a link from one of the VV sites, to a website of "Voivod-influenced furniture".. wot happened to that one? Anyone here responsible?

Furniture?! You got a plate-steel arse, lady?

Give me a nice comfy chair anyday. I don't care how unmetal that makes me.

I remember that thread and those images of the metal sculptures and I remember them being from somewhere in Canada, also, but can't think of the exact location. That thread had a bunch of other cool sculptures and buidings linked to it also, if my brain serves me right.

Make way, make way! Here I am!

So, this sculpture is in Montreal, actually (duh!). It's in the Old Port, where Voivod used to rehearse (nia or blacky could tell us further about that).

Here's a little link about it: CLICK-A-DI-CLICK!

Actually, check out that whole website about sculptures in Montréal, it's nice.

This sculpture was ordered by the ministère des Transports (Quebec's Department of Transportations), ha!, that's where I work!

"Elle se retrouve maintenant toute seule et un peu triste, comme une vieille demoiselle un peu sèche et austère, portant des vêtements de deuil, des plus sombres et des plus modestes."

"She (the sculpture, or "it") now finds her/itself alone and a bit sad, like an old demoiselle a bit dried and gloomy, wearing mourning clothes, dark and modest." (approximate translation by me)

Here is the artist, Robert Roussil:

Thanx for that Mal! I guess Away got some inspiration from looking at that one !! Beautiful.
Still can't understand French I'm afraid, studied it for 5 years at school & still can't speak it! Languages never been my strong point, ha. Thanx for the translation.

Actually, it wasn't me. I discovered this sculpture on YOUR site. Well, I discovered it in the Nothingface sleeve actually, but didn't know at the time it was a sculpture in Montréal. I thought it was some prop they used for the pic...

Just thank me for the quick Googling...
