in #jazz5 years ago (edited)

"Les Cycles De Thanatos" (released in 1979) is the name of the second studio album by the French band, Vortex. The group was founded in Lyon in the mid-1970s and was composed of: Jean-Pierre Vivante on guitar, drummer Francois Gerald and flutist Jean-Francois Trouillet. The band's musical style is very much in line with the sounds of the canterbury scene cultivating a pristine and elegant jazz rock comparable to bands like Soft Machine and Gong (Expresso I and II) ... =)
