In 1967, Marc Blanc and Patrick Fontaine were introduced to Daevid Allen after his departure from Soft Machine. They both played in Allen's Bananamoon band in Spain during summer '68 and in the south of France at the beginning of '69. Then they formed Ame Son in June '69, together with Franois Garrel on flute and Bernard Lavialle on guitar. The 'Catalyse' album was released in 1970, offering music that was strongly influenced by early Gong, faturing long psychedelic jams, often led by flute and guitar.
 
Ame Son were one of the earliest prog band sto cross-polinate free jazz with psychedelic music, especially on their lull-length "Catalyse" released in 1970. Many tracks begin in an avant free-form jam that eventually develop into more structured song and rhythm, with lyrics in either french or english, and then slips back into another wild free-form freak-out. Prominent flute, drugged-out vocals, and fuzzed-up electric guitar lend this a definite late-'60s underground vibe, though because ofthe originalityofthe materials and the quality of musicianship, it doesn't sound dated like similar releases from that era. Regarded by connoisseurs of thea masterpiece.
The classic lp by french prog quartet formed fromof daevid allen's "bananamoon" outfit. Originally released in 1970, these long spacey jams have obvious gong influences.
