'This is a wonderful lost album of grooves from France and it's got a sound that's unlike anything else we've ever heard. The group is a smooth funky jazz group with lots of electric bass and Fender Rhodes, similar to some of the Italian groups of the 70s [like The Cabildos], but they've also got a female singer in the mix, and she sings these groovy jazz vocals that have an airy breezy quality, similar to some of the best Brazilian fusion from the same time. The result is a stunning electric groove with a feeling that's really fresh, nice and warm, and funky in all the right parts. The original album's rare as hen's teeth and this reissue is very nicely done! ~ dusty

by request. seems the previous post was corrupted on a few tracks so if you grabbed it, you might wanna try this copy instead. come to find out the beatmakers for infamous prison guard Rick Ross, sampled 'chanson d'un jour d'hiver' so inventively on this track, my ears almost vomited feces! anyhow 320 remerciements à l'uploader d'origine
