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.
Keep it real, stay metal! https://www.facebook.com/cortexmk
6. Cortex is a spirited combo that plays energetic jazz of the finest brand.

Cortex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le ciel écume qui renaît soudain
Ces moteurs qui s'éveillent au souffle de ta vie
C'est la rumeur de ton été sans fin
Ton enfant qui rythme le temps de ses pieds nus
Sourit au soleil d'un air ingénu
Portant en lui le testament de la tristesse
La nuit ton corps harassé et à moitié nu
Plonge dans l'eau de l'amour éperdu
Un garçon brun qui te sourit et qui t'enlace
Semblant tu m'aimeras jusqu'au matin
La nuit ton corps harassé et à moitié nu
Plonge dans l'eau de l'amour éperdu
Un garçon brun qui te sourit et qui t'enlace
Semblant tu m'aimeras jusqu'au matin
Jusqu'au matin
Jusqu'au matin
Oui
In the song "Lenfant Samba" by Cortex, the lyrics describe various elements and moments in life that evoke a sense of joy, innocence, and sensuality. The first verse portrays the vibrant energy of the morning, symbolized by a glowing stone and a sky that is rejuvenated. The awakening engines represent the excitement and anticipation that come with the breath of life. The continuous buzz and activity signify an endless summer.
The second verse focuses on a child who dances and moves to the rhythm of time with bare feet. The child's innocent smile is directed towards the sun, as if unaware of the complexities of life. However, underlying this innocent facade, there is a sense of melancholy. The child carries within them the testament of sadness, highlighting the fragility and vulnerability of innocence.
In the chorus, the lyrics depict a scene at night where the singer's tired and semi-naked body dives into the waters of passionate love. A mysterious brown-haired boy smiles at them and embraces them, creating a moment of intense connection. This encounter promises love and affection until the morning, as if creating a temporary escape from the hardships of life.

Lyrics :
La pierre vide qui rougeoie dans le matin
Le ciel écume qui renaît soudain
Ces moteurs qui s'éveillent au souffle de ta vie
C'est la rumeur de ton été sans fin
Ton enfant qui rythme le temps de ses pieds nus
Sourit tout seul et d'un air ingénu
Portant en lui le testament de la tristesse
Comme une vierge, un enfant est nu

Semblant tu m'aimeras jusqu'au matin

La pierre vire qui rougeoie dans le matin
Et c'est l'écume qui renaît soudain
C'est ma terre qui s'éveille au souffle de ta vie
C'est la rumeur de ton été sans fin

Sourit au soleil d'un air ingénu
Portant en lui le testament de la tristesse

The empty stone that glows in the morning
The foamy sky suddenly reborn
These engines that awaken to the breath of your life
It's the rumor of your endless summer
Your child who is pacing the time of his bare feet
Smiles all alone and with an innocent air
Bearing in him the testament of sadness
Like a virgin, a child is naked
(Ba baa babam baa
Ba baa babam waa hya fawee ya fawn ya babam fa babam faaaaa ... ~)
At night your body exhausted and half naked,
Dive into the water of distraught love
A brown boy who smiles and embraces you
Seeming you will love me until morning
