Meteor Vortex

Originating from Lyon, France Vortex is a band which would have had their deserved success in a fair world. The band came to be officially in April 1975, but its roots lay in the preceding bands in which the members played. One such band was called Testu Band which was mainly a Soft Machine cover band. "1975-1979" collects both of Vortex's self-releases albums: 1975's more improvisation-centric and smaller ensemble Vortex, and the more ambitious, complex and larger group release from 1979, Les Cycles de Thanatos. Nicely remastered, the set features additional bonus material from the time of each recording, making it the definitive document of a group still relevant three decades on.
