"MICHEL ZACHA once took part to HAIR and SUPERSTAR; he signed on PATHE MARCONI and released 3 LP's ("La Nuit des cigales", "Le Vol d'Icare" and "Inutile", three albums set as a trilogy) between 1973 and 1977. He recorded with the finest French musicians in the jazz/songwriting/progressive music area, such as BERNARD LUBAT and JEAN-PIERRE ALARCEN." (quote found here on an earlier post of his third album)

Unbelievable French record by Michel Zacha(his 3rd). With a crew consisting of JP Alarcen,A. Ceccarelli,B. Lubat and CL. Engel amongst others,his music is an excellent mix of French pop/ballad folkish music combined with complex,strange, compositions.What else did you expect with such line up! Studio album released in 1972
