Classic French Zeuhl Band Vortex Compleat 1975-1979 [limited FLAC]

 





Not much you can say about this majestic classic.  If you love zeuhl of course these guys were at the top, like my old forgotten favourite Xalph.

From discogs:

Vortex is a progressive rock/fusion/Zeuhl band from Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, that was formed in 1973 under the name of Urantia. The band changed its name to Vortex in 1975 and split up in 1980. The band had a broad-ranging palette, including Zappa/Mothers influences, classical and cultural elements, at the darker instrumental end of Zeuhl.

Well certainly it's the classical incursions that appeal to me, mixed in with hard driving electric fusion.

C'est Cool, Raoul:



I love the title God is Good for you, John:

  7. Hello Julian,
    For information, Jean-Pierre Vivante who was the keyboardist of Vortex is now the owner of the prog rock and jazz club "Le Triton" near Paris. It's there Magma often plays.
