With Mandarine, Ex Vitae offer a fragrant cross‑section of French underground sensibilities: chanson‑shaded melodies, jazz‑leaning harmony and touches of psych and prog drifting together in songs that feel both intimate and quietly surreal.

More than an obscure curiosity, Ex Vitae played its part pretty well during the heydays of the 70’s French underground music scene. Led by René-Marc Bini & Jean-Marc Philippe, the band mastered its own way of delivering fusion jazz where eclectism and forward thinking were perfectly blended into an insanely precise groove. Their unique album was self -released in 1978 and has been feverishly sought-after ever since. Let Replica grace you with a piece of crazy music done the French way with this original first time reissue!
