I actually go through the first six as essential through Le Mariage Du Ciel Et De L'Enfer, of those Generation Sans Futur is probably my favorite.

I agree on Haxan & Phase IV

Ok, the ones I listened to were Symphonie Pour Le Jour Oů Brűleront Les Cités and Musique Pour L'Odyssee. I'll listen to this Generation Sans Futur next then. Thank you.
 
For me, those are the most essential  (especially if you go by the titles, once you know of AZ's background), but yes all first four albums are absolutely worthy, a,nnd up until roughly the mid-80's , it's all good

Haha thanks man. I've been listening to Génération Sans Futur. It has some slow parts also but like a little past the halfway point there kind of starts to be like a lot going on(musically). I like it! Don't know about the new avi just yet though lol. But if I get really, really into this band(which defiinitely could happen) then I just might.

After this, they go almost fully electronic and much more minimal, which they do well (IMO) but certainly is a pretty different field from their early stuff (and well out of the way of rock music, if that's something that is important to you). 

My list of must listen toos:

Faust 
Berlin
Haxan
Phase IV


So it sounds like any of their first five are good then. Thank you, that's helpful. This could be my newest big discovery here. We'll see.

So last night I listened to the first two Art Zoyd albums(on Logan's recommendation) and I actually liked them. Reminded me of Zappa a bit. Like a cross between Zappa and Magma, with a little bit of Can maybe. Definitely some classical too in there. Both albums had their slow points, where just not much seemed to be going on(musically). But Zappa can get like that in spots too. But both albums when they were good, were actually really good(to my ears).

So I'm just curious what some of you think of this band.. and maybe what are some other good albums from them for me to check out next. Thanks.
