Heya, I really have not idea about the cities (my Japanese geography is not something to be desired); though I know Nagoya is a 'sister city' to Sydney (Australia). Though I'm not to sure what that term is meant to signify. |

From what I find farmilar with this list, I would definitely give a thumbs up to a lot of those bands. I think you will find Golem somewhere around the Krautrock or psych departments (I would be surprise if they were not), and Coupla Prog I think also would fit quite snuggly under Kraut as well. Gunter Schickert could be under Electronics progressive? (not sure). Chris the Igor Wakhevitch, which I have listen to so far was nice. I need to look into it a little more deeply. But there were some very nice atomspheres to be heard. Just wondering are there connections with Horrific Child? I don't know why I have gotten this feeling. Once again I'm quite surprised Archimedes Badkar is missing. Also nice to see someone other listening to the likes of Doubling Riders and Deep Freeze Mice !!! Could you tell me a little about Kha - Ym, if this is what my memory is tell me it is I'm interested to hear your thoughts. |

Long time no smell fellas. Trust you are all having a fabulous January. A question: Are these two cities just down the road from one another ? Or is there something more involved ? ![]() |

I am enjoying this as well. It is on the ZART list and I hope to add it to PA (in my French "invasion" plan). |

Rocktopus, I'm definitely going to have check out some Igor Wakhevitch, sounds like my area of music.
It is. Pm me (btw:you're full) This one is absolutely brilliant! The reviewer forgot to mention some very funny farting sounds, almost a solo! ![]() A very eclectic French underground album. It starts off with a perverted, avant-garde waltz and after, they take you on a rollercoaster of styles. A dazzling collage of seemingly contradicting musical forms comes along. Among them are Soft Machine-styled jazz rock, chamber rock, French chanson, gypsy music, a touch of Zappa, folky parts and psychedelic acid-rock. Despite the experimental, uncompromising atmosphere, the concept in its entirety works excellently, in my opinion. The concept of the album as a whole is probably best compared to the early Mothers of Invention albums, although Zappa's collage style was infused with different musical influences (no Varese, doo-wop or free jazz influences on Komintern's album). The diversity of styles and the occasional goofiness may get on some people's nerves, but I think that Le Bal du Rat Mort is an excellent and unique album. Gnosis2000 |

From that insanely long list I'm currently obsessed with Igor Wakhevitch
Igor Wakhevitch was an obscure French composer who apparently took pleasure in messing with peoples’ heads. He had studied with Terry Riley, Olivier Messiaen and famed stage director Pierre Schaeffer, as well as having ties with the Soft Machine and Salvador Dali. I would say that his very odd mastery of noise, experimental classical and synthesizer technology was none too compromised by his mental state. ![]() Logos '70 (debut) With such a background, and a concept based on Greek legend, Logos "Rituel Sonore" amounted to a revolutionary creation for a 1970 release. Even if you know works like Pierre Henry’s The Green Queen, which was weirdly comprised of rock and avant-garde musics fused together, you’ll still be in for a surprise. Here we have a soprano singer, strange orchestral textures and percussives (drums, cymbals, gongs, etc.) blended with effects and processing. As the ominous percussion sets off with drum-rolls and ritualistic tension, the mood is of a looming anticipation of what is to come. here we go through phases of weird swirling effects, vivid reverb and atmosphere. The tension becomes overpowering, yet we are led on. Here we have the key to Igir Wakhévitch’s sound, in a tension that becomes awe-inspiring. The climax of the whole opus comes with "Danse Sacrale" , an extraordinary psychedelic instrumental performed by Triangle (one of the earliest French psychedelic bands) that has to be heard to be believed. A great band in their early days, this goes to prove that Triangle were not just Pink Floyd cum Traffic copyists. This all amounts to a unique fusing of psychedelia and the avant-garde, and an awesome experience ! ![]() Docteur Faust '71 -This is the most obscure album of the lot. I’d never hit it before this release. Aptly in tune with the title, it is also one of the strangest. Docteur Faust was created for a festival in Avignon, and was later choreographed. Though, the mind boggles as to how anyone could dance to this. "Full of fury and energy" to quote a reviewer at the Avignon festival, it certainly is ! On one hands this is a more balanced blending of classical and dramatic musics, yet also it is much more extreme. There’s a wealth of sonic collage, dense musique-concrete, and bizarre musics that collide and fragment against rock structures. There’s also moments of pure classical avant-garde moving into ensemble pieces feeling like Henze meets Ligeti or Xenakis. The use of electronics is really vivid too. There are no rules or boundaries in what makes up a Wakhévitch composition ! The rock elements return throughout this album and, although not credited, I would guess that again Triangle members are featured. The guitar reminds of Alain Renaud, and percussion is quite distinctive, backed-up with weirdly treated organ. Although a short album, it is so engrossing and weird that it would be too-much if it were much longer. ![]() Hathor '73 Dating from 1973, shortly after working with Terry Riley on his Happy Ending soundtrack, there’s an obvious big advance in Hathor "Lithurgie du Souffle Pour la Résurrection des Morts", with greater use of keyboards, synthesizers, and looping techniques. But Hathor is no mere synth album, far from it, but is Igor Wakhévitch’s most powerful opus. Making use of the Paris Opera choir (no-less), along with weirdly processed vocals, his usual off-the-wall electronics, and even drum/sequencer drives unprecedented in any form of music before this. It’s another sonic roller-coaster ride, in which we experience an ominous bellowing God-like voice heralding something visionary. As with his previous albums, Hathor contains a number of separate tracks that continue or segue from each other, amounting to what feels like one work. Here, we have surging electronic and percussion drives, a climax sparked off by lightning, thunder-crashes, a wealth of weird contorted voices, and much much more. Here tension gives way to intense power resulting in a kind of dark Vangelis - on the edge ! With a weird Gothic choral number and another electronic rock opus to follow Hathor really flies ! Only the closing coda offers relief, with a reflection on obvious Terry Riley influences, and hinting at the albums to come. All text is taken from Fractal Records I have his four first albums. (Fourth being a completly avantgarde piece for written for ballet called: Les Fous d’Or) Avantgarde, Progressive Electronic, Krautrock and occult mass in one. Especially these three has enough prog(rock) relation to be considered here. My current favorite composer. Not as difficult as it may look. Lots of dark beauty, and plenty og melody and quite a bit of rock. |

BTW, I found this article that might be very interesting. It's in
French, so I don't understand much of it myself, but a lot of RIO/Zeuhl
bands are mentioned, as well as other experimental rock groups:
