Zeuhl 5

Yuko!  Where are you! When you come back, I'll send you this: Its french, its rare, its avantprog, '71.




Air Mail, first class, noise reduction audiocassette, brilliant, and on that famous Nurse With Wound list.
Just give us a lifesign...some hope. (on side B, there's room for the Horde album)

Here she is:

However, I'm now sans computer and using me friends as and when. Notched up another vodka incident which one is loathe to regale... Thanks all for the great recommendations and links. Truly blasting my musical world open. Kisses!

This kid has a great sense of rhythm... I don't think that's usual at such an early age.

Sounds fantastic Roxy! I really wanna get this NWW list nailed down before I die.

Had to re-awake my favorite thread for this great french chamber/free jazz gem from '71:

Horde Catalytique Pour la Fin: Gestation Sonore. It may be too purely avantgarde to fit any of the sub-labels on the site, but its nevertheless related to both RIO and Zeuhl in instrumentation, attitude and mood. Comparable to Limbus 3 & 4 (but I find this album more focused and interesting), and as dark as Art Zoyd or Shub Niggurath.


Mellow Records has reissued this impossibly rare LP from the Futura label, recorded in 1971 in Nice, France by an improvisational quartet. This is avant-garde sound collage, free jazz, and general weirding-off, with the sax making various unpleasant noises over a musical bed of clanking chains and slamming doors. To truly appreciate this, it probably helps to be insane.
