Gibraltar:
French instrumental band Potemkine successfully combined jazz-fusion and progressive Zeuhl music for a style that should appeal to many. The band was made up of the three Goubin brothers (guitars, keyboards, drums) plus assorted other musicians who filled in on bass, percussion, and violin. The first album, released in 1975 was titled Foetus, and was heavily influenced by the early works of fellow French band Magma. Mostly instrumental, the album featured uptempo jazz and rock signatures with a few moments of vocal chanting along the way. The bands second release, 1977's Triton, followed similar paths, but a more fusion vibe had started to appear, as it is obvious the band was listening to such groups as the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever. The culmination of this style appeared in 1978 on the magnificent Nicolas II, a stunning fusion album that features emotional guitar and electric piano trade-offs, funky bass and drum grooves, and melodic songs. Compared to contemporaries like Iceberg and Arti e Mistieri, this album holds up quite well with its searing fire and passion. While Foetus has yet to be released on its own on CD, all of the tracks from that album appear as bonus cuts sprinkled on the Triton and Nicolas II CD's. -- Peter Pardo
