in #sonicgroove5 years ago

Nicolas II (released in 1978) is the name of the third studio album, by the Belgian band Potemkine. The group was founded in 1978, in Toulouse by the Goubin brothers: Charles (guitars, piano, voice), Philippe (drums and percussions, piano) and Michel (piano, voice) Goubin. Musically speaking the band cultivates a Zeuhl (Magma) style, with sound ingredients taken from 70's jazz rock, space rock and RIO (Univers Zero) ... =)
