ZAO - Kawana (1977)

Anyone have any comments on this album from France?

Zao typifies the progressive fusion approach of the French http://www.gepr.net/genre2.html#ZEUHL - zeuhl scene. Somewhat related to http://www.gepr.net/ma.html#MAGMA - Magma and other artists of the early seventies in France, Zao released five or so albums. Kawana features a tight, busy rhythm section, not unlike http://www.gepr.net/ma.html#MAGMA - Magma but with a jazzier feel, coupled with violin, keys and guitar make this instrumental offering a slow but steady grower. At first listen I wasn't impressed but many listens later I've come to greatly appreciate their proficiency.

I've only heard Z=7L, and it was pretty good. I've Only listened to it once though, can't really make any comments on it. Is Kawana better?
