In 1976, guitarist François Tellard, drummer Laurent Bertaud, pianist Jacques Bretonniere, bassist Michel Blancart and flute player Pascal Vandenbulcke founded the group Vegetaline Boufiol.

[1] After a few gigs in and around Nantes, the band reformed, with Jean Geeraerts replacing guitarist Tellard and Bruno Sabathe taking Bretonniere's place on keyboards.

However, the band failed to find a record label for a supraregionally promotion of the LP,[1] which made the original pressing a coveted collectable item and hindered the album from being a major success at the time.

In 1982, the line-up changed again, Termol and Tranchant left and Alain Mellier took over the bass and Christian Dupont the saxophone, which shifted the sound stylistically more towards jazz and was accompanied by extended and contrasting live improvisations.

[1] In 1992, a local initiative tried to reactivate former rock bands from Nantes for performances such as Dün, Tequila or Danger.
