1. A French jazz funk group from the seventies.
Key members were Alain Mion (Piano) and Alain Gandolfi (drums, percussion). Cortex recorded several albums and singles for the Sonodisc label. 2 albums got re-issued: 'Troupeau Bleu' (on 'Dare-Dare') and 'Volume 2' (on 'Follow Me').
2. A Swedish punk or post-punk band from Gothenburg.
Freddie Wadling sang the songs, played bass and wrote all the songs. Freddie Wadling had earlier played in many important swedish punk-bands as Liket Lever, Rukorna, and The Leather Nun, But Cortex was his own creation. Best Album is "Spinal Injuries" from 1980, with standout track "The Freaks" a song that should be worldfamous! It's the absolute pinnacle of swedish post-punk!
Cortex became Blue For Two (Freddie Wadling and Henryk Lipp) a New Wave-Synth Duo. After that Freddie Wadling worked with Fläskkvartetten, a string quartet concrete, then he went totally solo, and release albums in swedish as Freddie Wadling. He also did a full album with interpretations (covers) of Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart). There's loads more from this unique swedish artist.

3. A Spanish [Torrelavega (Cantabria)] metalcore band, playing since 1997. They released two albums "¿QUECOJONES ME PASA?" (2002) and in 2007 "LA DIGNIDAD DE LOS AVASALLADOS"
4. Cortex was Alain Neffe’s musical project before he started Bene Gesserit in 1982, his duo with partner Nadine Bal aka Benedict G. In 1981-82, the latter was then manager for Belgian New Wave band Digital Dance. Cortex was active between 1978 and 1982, their music focusing on electronic ambient tonalities and female poetry reading (in French), with tracks merely numbered by their respective letters – so presumably the entire Cortex output amounts to 26 tracks. Cortex A, B and C appeared on Insane Music For Insane People #01, 1981. Other tracks appeared on other compilations on Insane or elsewhere. ‘Souvenir/souvenirs’ is probably Cortex’s only full length release. The Belgian label Grafika Airlines published this tape as a joint release with Insane Music in 1984. My copy is the undated, Insane Music issue. Music-wise: The unsettling, metaphysical synth washes make one feel uneasy with their menacing tonalities, not unlike the 1972 Solaris soundtrack by Edward Artemiev. The readers are very young women just out of teenagehood. Their poetry deals with day-to-day concerns of late night cafés, neon lights, jukeboxes, the difficulty to find one’s place in society, lost love and lack thereof.
5. Cortex is a Macedonian death metal band that started playing in 2012. Short biography taken from their Facebook page: The story began in 2012 when the vocalist gathered up the drummer and the lead guitar player.We started to play thrash but we were not that type of guys,so after our first 2 songs we were struggling to write thrash metal and we simply turned into more brutal and darker stuff then before. That's the story behind us and here we are,making good music for our pleasure and the scene.

6. Cortex is a spirited combo that plays energetic jazz of the finest brand. They have been active since 2007, and have performed over two hundred live-performances and released five critically acclaimed albums. The quartet consists of Thomas Johansson - trumpet, Kristoffer Alberts - saxophones, Ola Høyer - double bass, and Gard Nilssen - drums. The band positions itself as one of the strongest additions to the Norwegian jazz scene, and the members are amongst the most sought after young jazz performers in Norway today.
They all have also marked their position in several other constellations such as: Bushman’s Revenge, Puma, PNL Large Unit, SAKA, All Included, Zanussi 5, Friends & Neighbors, Honest John, and The Heat Death.

Five seconds away from the razor
I'm on the edge, I'm going down
Five seconds away from the razor
The wave is coming
The wave is coming
It's radiating and pulsating
Radiating
5 seconds away from the razor
20,000 people and their monster are waiting in the night and beyond
20,000 people and their monster
The wave is coming

Childhood
Freddie Wadling was born as the son of Arvid Olsson (1922–1989) and Astrid Wadling (1924–1992). As a child, he took the mother's returned maiden name after her parents' divorce. [1] [2] [4] During the latter part of his life, he remembered very little of his childhood. The fragmentary memories he had often flowed together and were sometimes contradictory. On a return trip to Fräntorp, the area in Gothenburg where he grew up, he said that the place during his childhood "felt like a prison. A big black hole. I am very happy that I came from here". [5]
According to Wadling, his father was an unreliable alcoholic. He left both his wife and children early, after which they moved in with Freddie Wadling's grandparents. Wadling described this home as crowded and constantly filled with people. According to Wadling, he was subjected to psychological abuse by his mother during his childhood, at the same time as he had several good memories of his mother. Both his mother and his grandmother were very overprotective and strict. He described this as "they forbade me to live. Everything was an empty being". He remembered his childhood as marked by ever-increasing poverty. However, a cousin and the family's photo album gives a different picture of their finances; among other things, on Christmas Eve he received large amounts of presents and according to his cousin he was spoiled. [5]
His musical interest began very early. At the age of two, he had a great interest in LPs and regularly sang children's songs; at the age of three, his mother had begun making recordings of his song. Wadling's interest in design and theater also showed early on. His cousin described him as an exhibitionist, who, however, was very lonely and isolated. [5] He began early to create music using various tools, such as rulers, cigar boxes, bath tubs, broomsticks, strings and more. He preferred to improvise music over learning music theory. [6]
At school he was bullied and beaten. After an incident on a busy day, he was also beaten and constantly chased by his teacher. "She could just walk up and slap me. I was not sure for a single minute," Wadling said later in life. [5] From the age of eight to 15, Wadling experienced himself as a mutist. In fact, he responded to appeals from teachers and relatives, but his experience of those years was that for seven years he did not say a word and distanced himself both from his surroundings and from himself. [5]
When Freddie Wadling was nine years old, he found his grandfather dead in the bathroom. This experience dramatically aggravated his isolated condition. His grandmother then began to insist that he spend time with her all the time, which eventually led to him starting to hate her. [5]
Adolescence
At the age of 14, he formed with his cousin Eddie, Ulf Lindström and another boy a band called The Human Beings where Freddie Wadling played bass. The band split quickly but managed to give a concert in Härlanda church. However, Wadling later continued to make music with others. [6] At the age of 14 he became acquainted with alcohol, quickly became a heavy smoker and later in his teens he also started smoking cannabis. [6]
Early adulthood
Freddie Wadling's mother and grandmother were convinced that he would never be able to fend for himself and that there was something wrong with him. Therefore, he underwent extensive clinical tests and was for a short period admitted to a psychiatric ward at Sahlgrenska Hospital. At the age of 18, he retired. One doctor said he had claustrophobic tendencies, fear of other people and was "slightly stiffened, slightly twisted and closed". Other doctors said he had delusions, social phobia and generalized anxiety disorder. [6]
Freddie Wadling painted a lot towards the end of the 60's, with oil paint in a naive style. The motifs included eyeballs, skeletons, black horses, fantasy creatures and more. It is unknown exactly when, but sometime around this time, he studied at the Dômen art school in Gothenburg, where he studied painting, sketching, art history and color and form theory. [6]
In the 70's he started using more drugs. He tested amphetamine and LSD, among other things, the latter becoming a recurring drug in Wadling's life. He played in several smaller bands, but with the band Frog 2000 it became more serious. The band held a number of smaller concerts. Wadling initially sang in the band, but later handed over the singing to someone else when the songs were no longer to his liking. [6]
He moved to his own apartment in the early 70's, but his mother and grandmother were still very worried about him. [6] Eventually he started taking more amphetamines and cannabis. To curb amphetamine ignition, he used sedatives, cannabis and alcohol. At the age of 23, he had an amphetamine addiction that made his life dysfunctional. [7]
The beginning of the musical career
Freddie Wadling continued to make music with Frog 2000. In the spring of 1974, they participated in a competition arranged by Göteborgs-tidningen and L

One of the best rockbands in the 80's, both in Sweden an of the westworld! This song has a reminiscence of some of the best of The Clash's stuff...
