Never cared much for Zao, while Infernal Machina was excellent. Easy choice this time. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

Zao for sure. Especially for the first two albums -- though I like all of Zao's albums. It was Osiris that got me into Zao, but I especially came to love the début - Z=7L (a considerably underrated at PA album for my tastes). Infernal Machine didn't do so much for me -- not that I've spun it much. I liked Soleil d'Ork more. it was hearing this that initially got me to really fall for Zao: And the first track off my particular favourite Zao album: ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Love Zao. All their 70's albums are great (even the zeuhlless Typareth). Why are they so overlooked? And why do I keep forgetting how magnificent they are myself? Jannik Top solo albums should be no match for them (but I didn't think Dün and Shub Niggurath would be out in the first rounds either).

ZAO is one of my favourites so they get my vote but i'm a big Top fan too. I'm sad they are against each other here. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Zao, and those were poor choices for examples. Their first album Z=7L is a classic Zeuhl album. After that they gradually went pure instrumental fusion. Top did his best work with Magma; his song "De Futura" was done better by Magma although his version is great too.

Zao is loosing this?!
Agreed. But I hear lots of Zeuhl in their fusion except in Typareth. Here's Zao in a "classic" Zeuhl mode. |

| ^ Yeah..I was about to say that I only have Shekina and while I haven't listened to it for years I never understood why they are called Zehul, there's nothing Zehulic about it, but I'll give it another day and listen to other videos. As for now I'm voting for Jannick. |

| Zao, love everything pre-"Typhareth". "Infernal Machina", on the other hand, is probably one of my least favorite zeuhl albums ever. |

Oops, this was supposed to end yesterday but I wasn't home all night.  Last few hours to vote then. All you Zao freaks better step it up 2 votes if you want them to pass.  ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

I'll close the poll early now with Jannick Top up one vote, BUT, if people are inclined to keep voting, vote away until 24:00 EST and make a post, and if your post falls before midnight, I'll count it tomorrow morning. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

| Listening to some more videos Jannick Top's Infernal Machina sounded a little flat to me while Zao were more interesting, not the best Zehul I've heard but good enough. |

Sadly with the tie, Jannick Top still moves forward as he has a higher average rating than Zao does. I'll get the new poll up tomorrow probably. Lots of work tonight. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">
