Another odd mix of groovy Funk/Funk Rock and solid Jazz Fusion with bits of psych thrown in for good measure.Material is centered around electric piano, percussion, electric guitar and actually the first side is heavily relying on Jazz Funk, while the jazzier pieces have some sort of WEATHER REPORT atmosphere.Vocal passages are quite bland and indifferent, but the instrumental work often holds serious interest with cool Fusion exercises.Nemo disbanded in mid-70's and Breant later produced a couple of nice Progressive/Jazz Rock albums, Clément Bailly played briefly with Magma and Emmanuel Lacordaire went to Alpha Ralpha.
