I just had to relay what happened.I enjoyed Honeyelk so much yesterday that i decided to bring it to work and play it once.So after listening to Relayer and Lizard i put it on.This lady comes in and i'm guessing she's around 60 years old.Anyway as were standing there she says "So what kind of strange and disturbing music is this?". I laughed and said "It's Honeyelk from France, from the late seventies i believe". She says "Oh if you want strange and disturbing music then the seventies is where your going to get it". I just laughed again.

Had a listen to HONEYELK's second album this morning and really enjoyed it. It's not the most dynamic album in the world but it really hits the spot with me.Clarinet and sax along with the usual instruments.It's always a good sign when i want to keep playing an album over and over.Too bad there is no bio for this band.

I love zeuhl which for me is the most progressive music of all music styles. Enough said about my strong beliefs.


Looking forward to this Torodd ! I love his "Contact" album and i also have the Scherzoo album.


I just don't like Thollot on drums, he should stick to other instruments.  That's why Contact is great, he got maybe the best rhythm section on the planet to play on it.
Almost the best. If he'd been able to get Christian Vander on drums, then he would have had the best rhythm section on the planet. Daniel Jeand'heur isn't too shabby, though.


I hear you, but Jeand'heur blew me away on the latest One Shot live album.  I mean he was just f-ing killing it.

This just surfaced on the Kohntarkosz blog, a new band with a Vander tribute(?) album recently released:



A bit heavier here and there than I expected, but cool stuff.

Get the new Runaway Totem album. It is streamed at Progstreaming too. It is a brilliant album, although strictly not a zeuhl album. Most Runaway Totem albums is free downloads from their homepage, btw. Check them out. 

I am starting to love zeuhl, btw.

Yeah, like this one a lot.

Great album but I hear more Canterbury than Zeuhl.

YES - I have finally found someone that agrees with me on this!

Yes it's pretty good.  I heard some of it on the radio and downloaded it shortly thereafter.  I remember paying for it though - maybe it was one of those 'pay whatever you want' type things?

Does anybody here have the most recent Panzerpappa release from 2006 called Koralrevens Klagesang? I hear a lot of Zeuhl in it alongside some Canterbury and inspiration from the early RIO bands.
I´ve been listening a lot to bands from Sweden and Norway the past few weeks, and Panzerpappa just recently got a spin again. Brilliant stuff!

BTW I have that Kultivator album as well, and I think it fits in nicely under the Eclectic moniker as it frolics in both Zeuhl and Canterbury. I love the album regardless though...

I just listened to their album a few nights ago and i can definitely hear a strong Zeuhl flavour.Yes it has that Canterbury shade as well which maybe why they are in Eclectic.I still think i'd have them listed under Zeuhl but that's just my opinion.By the way i think that album is brilliant.
