Dharma - Archipel (limited time only)

At last we can complete the discography of this famous French free jazz-fusion band, who made I guess 4 records back in the day.  Guitarist Gerard Marais appeared on one of the albums (not this one) and was featured here on this blog in the past (in several places actually).  The other members are Gérard Coppéré, Jacques Mahieux, Jeff Sicard, Michel Gladieux, and Patricio Villaroel.  It's likely some of these have appeared here before, given the way this blog and the seventies fusion/jazz scene work.  I can't say I have the energy to check after hearing this one out.

All their albums are a little difficult to approach and feature those super-long solo parts that drive me nuts, cf. the Nordic Jazz group that featured Scandinavian players who made a point of never, ever, improvising stoned, unfortunately (as you can see from the comments section).  The first track:





I'm going to assume everyone already has the other albums, maybe not the Colette Magny collaboration, but here they all are in one grouping, limited time, as this record was reissued recently, knock yourselves out...
