"Coulonneux" the debut album of Julverne it's one of the lost jewels of the 70's, a very soft RIO, very different to Samla Mammas Manna, Henry Cow or Art Zoyd, a little bit of Opus Avantra maybe. 10 instrumental songs, none of them hard or speed, only quiet and soft songs. the RIO scene in Europe in the last years of the 70's decade, it's very wide, and we can find a lot of albums very similar or very differents for each other. if you're a hugh fan of the classic bands of RIO, you can't miss the oportunity to listen this wonderful album. it's brilliant, one of the better works in the genre. i'm listening to ths album (for the first time in my life) right now, and i had to say, that i already love it.
