Vertø - Krig/Volubilis 1976 ~ software for linux

The name Verto is the name under which the French guitarist Jean-Pierre Grasset created his musical vision. To this end he collaborated with several musicians and other bands. One such band which he met before, while working in Tartempion (which helped bands setting up concerts) was Potemkine which also appear in side one of the the first Verto release from 1976, Krig/Volubilis. The second album called Reel was released in 1978 on Fleau records and has a different lineup. Krig/Volubilis, released on the Tapioca/Pôle label, is an instrumental album (with some ethereal voices) with a strong spacey, psychedelic and electronic sound which is remarkable given that there are no keyboards on it. It is a dark and gloomy sounding album, which goes very well with the cover art and experimental in nature which puts it in the avant-garde realm.
