Gorgeous to these ears J! Very interesting release an' a vinyl delight to boot!





Well, it's pretty good, but The Unnamables  is not really a match for full-blown Magma works such as .M.D.K., Wurdah Ïtah, K.A or Köhntarkösz. Or do you think it is?

The Unameables is quality Faaip. Worth tracking down on vinyl as it has a gorgeous textured gatefold sleeve with a truly enormous Magma symbol inside. Expect the usual printed on receipt paper reissue cd from Musea

My bleedin' upgraded Commodore 64 computer is on a right go-slow tonight. She's even managed to initiate the dreaded AppleMac 'spinning-rainbow-of-death' for a record five-plus minutes. Hey Steve Jobs! Guess what I'm buying next.


Always thought it was 'Nyl' myself. Presume it was a zeuhl typo by the reissuerz

I'm pretty sure it is Nyl, even taking into account the NIL on the front cover. All the searches I have done come up with the 'y'. But Nil does entail and nice French Symphonic band.

Hey, I've got that album by Nyl or Nil. Mandakeroot's review is pretty accurate in his descriptions.
By the way, which is the correct name ?

Evohe BV? You're probably better off looking for the Holy Grail


Yeah was talking about Evohe, bit of a typo there. I'm starting to realise what you are talking about, in regard to the holy grail. The track on that unrelease Zeuhl compilation was gold. But as always I will keep on looking. I will let everyone know if I find anything.

Nyl - Nyl (1975)

"Unhappyly it has very little available information on the Nyl, not only in the Internet, but even though in encarte of the COMPACT DISC that compels its legacy (edited for the parisiense stamp Legend Music). Under the auspices of the guitarist Michel Peteau and the baterista Stéphane Rossini, responsible for the majority of the compositions, the band initiated its activities in 1973, participating, as well as as much other formations of underground French then, the MJC (Les Maisons DES Jeunes et of la Culture) and of the autogestionários festivals. In 1975, they had recorded its only record, the Nyl homonym, that stock exchange operator Janick Top (Magma, Heldon) in three bands counts on the participation of célebre, and of the saxofonista Patrice “Free” Quentin (Crium Delirium).

Acting in a similar line to the Crium Delirium (despite without the circus lisergia of the band of the Magal brothers), the alternating Nyl between long improvisations in compass of space rock (Nyl - in three versions in the COMPACT DISC -, Alex); inspiration ballads psych folk (with prominence for the gorgeous Ailes d' Or, beyond Abery); exercises free (Jaguar I and II); e good acid rocks (Nyarlathotep - excellent -, Dromadaire Bleu, Dervishes, Ibha) packed by one interplay of strident guitars, low pulsante and vigorous battery.

The quality of writing it's not worth a while, over all in last the six bands, registered to the living creature, that suffer with an excess of acute frequencies (thing that particularly annoys me, I confess, over all pq I do not see necessity in “swelling” the content of an album with frankly precarious registers, “to perhaps justify” the duration longest of the digital format…); not obstante, one is about an interesting record, to trustworth register one of the periods most creative of the history of the Gallic rock."
    
Would love to hear this band. Been on me wants list for yonks! By the way BV, you forgot to credit the original author of this review. Mandrakeroot will be most displeased


Oops, I just found the review on some blog had no idea who it was by. But credit to Mandakeroot.


Yu, I will see what I can do, I have not listened to them yet, but should be very soon.

Anyway one got so information on Evohoe? Their song I have heard is right down my alley. I'm very interested in trying to obtain some more of their material.

Quoting myself from donkeys back (the depths one is willing to plummet heh)!

Reason is I just got my hands on the always excellent Soleil Zeuhl's reissue of Eskaton 'Fiction' and it has another four tracks from 'Icare', three of which are in the four minute bracket and the other in standard issue 9 minute Eskaton length. Coupled with the other 9 minute track on 4 Visions I'm making this a shade over 35 minutes. Oh yeah!

Oh an' ignore my 3 star rating. It's solid gold.
