"The name has been said to be Latin for "beyond these things", but the correct Latin translation of "beyond these things" is Procul His. Alternatively, the name has been translated as "of these far off things" (harum is in the feminine, genitive, plural). However, procul would not be followed by a genitive in Latin. The name of the band is frequently misspelt; often with Procul, Harem, both, or other variations."

Fires (Album Studio Version):
The end of this version has a crazy vocal improvisation by guest singer Christiane Legrand:
"She was the original lead soprano of the Swingle Singers and was the vocalist who dubbed the part of Madame Emery in Les parapluies de Cherbourg, the music for which was composed by her brother Michel Legrand. She also sang the part of Judith in his Les Demoiselles de Rochefort."

Les Demoiselles de Rochefort is a really weird movie worth seeing. French modernist jazz musical with awesome art direction. - sally mckay 11-21-2010 5:20 pm
