Potemkine- Nicolas II (1978)

The third album by Potemkine is much more straighter jazz rock fusion styled which on occasion resembles some Mahavishnu Orchestra.

 Much less zeuhl here than on previous releases ,except for the closing track which is probably my favourite track. 

All in all  a very enjoyable album if one prefers a more jazz rock fusion approach and is  probably on the whole there strongest and tightest album to date, where the guitar playing is the highlight.

Potemkine - Nicolas II - Tango Panache

Potemkine - Triton (1977)

My favourite of the three albums by Frances "Potemkine".

For lovers of the Zeuhl style this album has much to offer and has more of the Magma type sound than the other two albums, and features excellent drums and bass guitar work reminiscent of "J Top" and "Vander". Check out "Loolit II" which is pure Magma and the excellent lengthy "Eiram".

There's also elements of "Mahavishnu Orchestra" and "Weather Report" on this disc but less so than on the other albums, especially "Nicolas II"
