Cortex - Troupeau Bleu 
I bought this from Searchers in Melbourne in 2022 after hearing the track Mary et Jeff pumping through the shop. I plucked up the courage later to ask the guy what was playing. He was so thrilled to discuss this 70s French jazz fusion act I'd never heard of. I left briefly and then ran back and bought the album. It's now become one of the favourite records I own. 

This is a 2020 repress and sounds great. If you fancy a first press there is one going for $2333 on discogs from France right now. Be quick!

Cortex started with two guys Alain Mion & Alain Gandolfi who look like the guys from my dad's old meteorology VHS tapes. What really makes this album is the voice of Mireille Dalbray (wife of Alain Mion). Think Flora Purim style vocals. Mireille apparently died shortly after this albums release. The other subsequent albums don't quite hit the same.
