Anyone recognize who this artist could be?
https://youtu.be/zSNXojXcRC0?t=55 Sounds like Ophiucus, Louis Chedid something along those lines?

My shazam app says it's Light Sounds dark. I think that's just the name of the song though.

It's from a sampler called Alien Galaxy Builder by Light Sounds Dark Lable.
the lable doesn't seem to know the Artist. The Artists that are named on the sampler I've never heared about in my life. Very obscure. I like the track it has some very happy Zeuhl drive. Edited by TheH - June 17 2020 at 07:18 |

No idea either, but I like it.
Very similar in style to SLOCHE.

Cool track. I like it a lot. Have no idea who it is, and neither does the label who put it out. Unfortunate.

Thanks for replies. I'll keep checking through Zeuhl tracks to try find this.
Any French speaker able to transcribe some lyrics, or a chorus to guess the title?

It begins with:
"Dans ma carriole, je vole, je vole..." And it sounds more like Jazz-Rock/Fusion than Zeulh... at least to me.

I came for the possible puzzle, stayed for the illustration on the youtube video, and was definitely hooked by the galloping bass line. Thanks! :-)
It certainly sounds Zeuhlish to me, very similar to Eskaton in terms of singing delivery and style, even voices (both a male and female singers, even voice timbres would match). The bass line would perfectly fit for Eskaton. What wouldn't quite fit is the acoustic guitar intro, and the lyrics' quirky, "magical-stoner" tone. I took the time to try and transcribe a bit more than previous answers. Unfortunately, google searching some of the verses that I am certain I heard correctly found nothing useful for identifying the band...
Quick and dirty translation, just to give you an idea:
Etc etc repeat, and the last two verses:
It was fun, thanks! :-)

Big thanks for transcribing the lyrics. :) Checked discogs for tracks with titles like "Je vole" or "Dans ma carriole" etc but no luck. Checked through all of Eskaton's discography also, but found nothing so far. Seems their members did not have many side-projects or other bands.

Don't waste yout time checking for known Artists, who ever recoreded that track is not on PA or otherwise known to anybody here. I'm very much into Zeuhl and have a huge collection in that direction, I don't think even if the Artist would be named that anyone here have heard about them before.

Found it :)
Thanks everyone, especially projeKct and Skybird for transcribing the lyrics. Searching discogs for track title "Carriole" and style "Prog Rock" got it. Patrick Beauvarlet - Carriole (1976) from Quelle Belle Soirée LP |

Wow, nice find!
Sorry for putting you on the wrong track, as there certainly is no connection whatsoever with Eskaton. Also, the connection with prog is tenuous at best: taking a quick listen to some other tracks of the guy (here and here), it sounds more like eclectic French 70's rock, à la Polnareff (there's a two-rebound connection from Beauvarlet to Polnareff, through Serge Koolenn). I only mention Polnareff as his name might be recognizable by the international audience here. (Sidenote, probably more aimed at the French or French-speaking audience here: in some of Serge Koolenn's bands, I found Christian Burguière's name familiar... It turns out he's the father of the members of Les Ogres de Barback!) To wrap up with Patrick Beauvarlet, on this page we find a small bio in French, that I translated (again quick'n'dirty, and sorry for the ongoing sentence with almost no structure, it is in the original; I could not leave the capitalization of names as it was so I fixed it, but I would not "fix" the sentence structure):

Congratulations!
Searching on Discogs was the thing to do. I should have thought of that. Anyway, it was a fun challenge, thanks!
