Deux cents nuits à l'heure (Two Hundred Nights Per Hour), was the collaborative efforts of Québec folk-prog singer-songwriters Serge Fiori and Richard Séguin. In many ways this album marks for me the end of the 70's prog Québec music scene.
At the time of this recording Serge Fiori had left Harmonium, while les Séguins, had also recently folded, leaving the two artists finally free to collaborate on this new project.
Fiori and Séguin are backed up by a great lineup of musicians that had performed and toured in support of Harmonium's L'Heptade. The band included Neil Chotem – electric piano, Michel Dion – electric bass, Denis Farmer – drums, tambourine, Monique Fauteux - vocals (4 tracks), Libert Subirana - flutes, saxophones (6 tracks), Jeff Fisher - keyboards (4 tracks), Robert Stanley - electric guitar (5 tracks) And Pierre Cormier - congas (2 tracks).

Musically the album covers a wide range of styles and tempos, incorporating many of the sounds and stylings familiar to that of Harmonium.
