Bahamas – Le Voyageur Immobile. 1976 Motors.
I didn't get to the stereo yesterday, so here's another rarity from the main list.
Bahamas' sole album is song based progressive pop music sung in French. Relatively harmless, but does feature a few truly inspired progressions hidden within the commercial attempts. Not dissimilar to how the US groups operated in the mid to late 70s. Features a beautiful gatefold cover. I owned the LP in the early 90s, but sold. No regrets.
Priority: none

Still interesting sounds out of this one in my mind. These guys (Batard, Rizzitelli, Perrier) were very talented session musicians playing back up for some cult artists like Jarre, Christophe, Manset or Bashung. They went on to create Space Art who recorded three albums (one not released on CD yet).
Hi SF,
Yep - definitely some good moments on here. I didn't realize the Space Art connection! I wasn't a big fan of their albums either. Didn't realize one wasn't on CD!
Thanks for the comment as always.
