@vintage_hifi_plants: Cortex - Huit October 1971 Classic material 🔈🍊🔥 My daughter’s favourite jam (mainly cause she loves Tyler and DOOM). Ray Tubes KT88s settled in and sounding magnificent… also this song came out the year these Tannoy speakers were made 💫 Here’s an AI write up 😅 “Huit Octobre 1971” is a French jazz-funk song from the 1975 album Troupeau Bleu by Cortex, known for its unique blend of funk, psychedelic, and Bossa Nova with atmospheric vocals and tight arrangements that has become a coveted sample source for hip-hop artists. While not a contemporary of the song’s title year, the track is celebrated for its originality, ethereal vocals, and intricate instrumentation, earning it a cult status and making the album a cornerstone for hip-hop’s discovery of obscure 1970s French music.
