Thanx BV..!

                      Certainly was an unexpected reissue ! I bought their first thinking it was Cyclones du Thanatos and after doing a bit of research found that nobody even knew there was a 'First' album release ! God knows where they found it ! I wonder if the cd is from the master tapes or straight from vinyl ? I believe this cd is quite scarse now as well

Yukorin, you should be able to purchase this nice little reissue on Waysidemusic for $30US, but I am sure there are other vendors do offers.
 
 
Here is a little about the band for those unfarmiliar
 
"
This is a rather important and also rather unexpected reissue! Vortex are an under-known and underappreciated band who combined jazz rock with zeuhl and avant-progressive tendencies and recorded two rather rare albums in their lifetime (Vortex and Les Cycles De Thanatos). The first album featured Fender piano, saxes, flute, bass and drums, while the second album eliminated the flute, added more reeds, as well as oboe, English horn, mallet percussion and more! This CD includes both albums plus over 25' of bonus material which has never before been released, as well as a history of the band in French & English, as well as many photos. "Les Cycles de Thanatos is a dark-sounding album integrating rock, jazz, and neo-classical elements. Probably the most dominant feature on the album is the dark brooding neo-classical rock, sounding not unlike Univers Zero or Art Zoyd. In addition, there are Zeuhl-ish jazz rock passages that remind me of Zao, Moving Gelatine Plates, instrumental Zappa, and Potemkine. An excellent album of typical French avant-garde/underground music."-Sjef Oellers/Gnosis [Le Triton]"

If you are looking for the original vinyl of Dun - Eros you could be having a bit of trouble. But if the reissue CD verision is your thing, it is quite easy to find. This is a list from the label of places where it is avalible
 
 
Alternatively we can give Ultima Thule a bit of interest:

If they had their 'Dromm' label distributed by Recommended then let's hope for a reissue soon. Last I heard was Ultima Thule (or possibly NWW's Steve Stapleton) were gonna reissue everything (singles, tapes and Hansten Klork) on one cd. Fingers crossed !

This is full-on Zeuhl !

I was thinking about them recently and wondering if  a reissue was likely - they were distributed by Recommended Records in the early 80s so I was going to ask there. More RIO than Zeuhl from what I remember, but excellent (if rather dark) stuff with fantastically powerful rhythms.

Magma book


Written by Magma fanatic, UK Channel 4 'Eurotrash' presenter, and general man-about-town Antoine de Caunes I wish I could say this is a lively read and a page-turner extraordinaire but my French is limited to 'Veux-tu coucher avec moi'

Magma

I wanted to show this early Magma 7" because of the beautiful sleeve. Also, the flip-side 'Klaus Kombalad' is absolutely astonishingly beautiful (available on their 'Simples' cd. But be warned that the 5 tracks on that cd are taken from vinyl copies)

PM me Herr Kinski

Sometimes vinyl can show her true worth. The Hellebore sleeve is not only beautifully realised but printed on the most gorgeous of material. Meanwhile the Musea cd reissue is yer bog-standard badly printed common or garden toilet paper affair.

Yukorin,

The cover art and inserts from that Hellebore LP are gorgeous. The front cover reminds me a little of Escher's work. With cover art like that I would hope the music itself is special.

Is there a Web site with (legal) MP3 samples where I can hear what this album sounds like?

Nice stuff Yukorin,
 
Needless to say you have made me rather jealous. It seems you have a very nice vinyl collection, alongside you Kraut.
 
One thing I am certain about at the moment I'm really enjoying Abus Dangereux's album. A first it didn't really seem anything special, but over the last few weeks everytime I flick through my small Zeuhl collection this one keeps getting put on. I must urge people to have a listen to this album. Do you have any thought on this album Yuk?  
 
Also I another issue, I think we are going to have to start trying to get some of these bands added. From the time spent in this thread it really has opened my eyes to how much wider the Zeuhl genre is compaired to my first thoughts.
