: Cortex contributes two tracks, "Pourquoi" and "A Winning Team," offering their signature blend of ethereal vocals and tight Rhodes-heavy rhythms.
This compilation is highly recommended for listeners who enjoy the "Shaolin Soul" series or Italian library music. It successfully captures a specific era where French pop, jazz, and cinema intersected to create some of the most "cool" and "avant-garde" music of the 20th century.
