I've been reading a lot of different threads around here, and it struck me that I've seen no mention of Minimum Vital anywhere.  I tried using the forum search feature, and still nothing came up.

So I just wanted to give a shout-out for this band, whom I hold in very high regard, post a couple of YT vids for those who haven't heard their music - and see if there were any other fans here...?

At some point in the not too distant past I picked up Atlas. It's very good. What else by them is recommended?

I've only got 3 of their albums, Esprit d'Amour, Capitaines, and La Source.  Of those, I prefer the first 2.  I've seen some YT vids of their newer stuff, and it sounds great... just haven't made the purchases (yet).

I'm not very knowledgeable about them, but sure like their approach to music - I think they've got a lot of originality.  The lady singing on Esprit d'Amour has a fantastic voice, I can't remember her name but I think her vocal ability rivals some of my favorites (Jane Relf, Maggie Reilly).  She doesn't sing on all their albums though.

They are from the south-west of France near Bordeaux. I've got the remastered CD of Sarabandes and a DVD of Vital Duo.

Also this long track from Odyssey.

Great band!!! Esprit d'Amour, Pavanes and Air Caravan are the only three I have and they are amazing. I need to get all of their records. One of the most undervalued bands on the planet.
