From discogs: Laurence Vanay is the pseudonym for Jacqueline Thibault, wife of music producer and musician Laurent Thibault (ex-MAGMA). Her debut album is entitled “Galaxies” released in 1974, a very rare item indeed and a Holy Grail for most collectors of 70's underground French progressive. In 1975 she released Evening Colours [as Gateway] and a final opus still in 1975 called Magic Slows.

Wow, tough case. Obviously prog to a degree, but where to put it? It sounds a bit like a darker Oldfield at times, which folkier passages and even a bit of symph in there, so I think I'll try prog folk first.

I don't know what the other Zarts would think but if prog folk says no I think we may evaluate her. It's not Magma but I personally hear a bit of dark Zeuhl. 

EDIT: just on the first track...effectively there's more folk in the following.

The rest of the folk team haven't voted yet, but I hear more jazz, pop and ethereal electronica than folk.  She does seem to belong here somewhere but I'm not convinced Prog Folk is the right place...

This artist is cleared for Eclectic, historian, if you would like to add him.

I really enjoyed listening to her stuff, especially the second album which is all instrumental.
Her Best Of compilation is also worthy and is available on bandcamp BTW.
Great work historian!
