Also a couple of press releases with the vinyl. Not much though. Only have that LP as well but what a classic! Would love to track down their couple of singles and old tapes

Thanks for digging up the picture, I knew we had mentioned them before.

I think for the rest of their discography they have 2 singles and maybe one cassette release; so I have gathered from looking around.

Zeuhl article sounds interesting to me

Yes they are here - http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=771

^^^^ nice work Joren, just had a look at progtology then. I'm more than happy to see Evohe on the site, as I have loved what little material I have heard. Zeuhl down to the bones that one. Now I have a lot of listening to do.

I will have to added both Pochakaite Malko and Xalph (I think they are on our big master list) to our voting list thingy. But Arachnoid should be on the site (me thinks), if we are talking about the one album French band, with the cover entailing a strange hand on a black background. Tell me if I am thinking of the right band here?

When the time comes to it I will definitely be asking for some help with some, if not most of these bands. Hehe saw that coming with Troll and Musique Noise.

Strawberry Song Orchestra (wouldn't really fit on this site. Bizarre shamisen led horror goth)

I was wondering why this one sounded so familiar, my ex was obsessed with band like this one, was very knowledgeable with anything to do with Gothic based music.

Yu I wanted to hear your opinion on Rahmann, Instrumental Zeuhl or Jazz-fusion?

Haha, I'm surprised you have not passed out after 18 hours. Well this is the start of a long process of adding bands (the voting takes a long time), many of which I will love to see on the site. But we needed to start somewhere and this is as good a place as any.

Nah, I was just looking for websites to add with those artists/bands and found this compilation (with Eider) that has several of those bands.

Various Artists
$8.99
"Enneade" (1987) is exclusively made of previously unreleased tracks by French bands and musicians inspired by Zeuhl music, either musically or historically. A lot wider than a simple musical style, this true religion was originated by MAGMA. Founded in 1969, this band came directly from the rich imagination of Christian VANDER, unpredictable and virtuoso drummer, as well as an incredible vocalist. The track-list of this compilation includes compositions of TROLL, ZALPH, Bernard PAGANOTTI (MAGMA & WEIDORJE), Yochk'o SEFFER (MAGMA & ZAO), ESKATON, François "FATON" CAHEN (MAGMA & ZAO), SHUB-NIGGURATH, EIDER STELLAIRE, MUSIQUE NOISE, FARBEN and ALTAÏS. The only exception to the rule is the contribution by Belgian band UNIVERS ZERO, but it has to be said that drummer Daniel DENIS was part of MAGMA for some time in 1973, and that his current band is the undisputed leader of new musics. For a long time out of stock, the CD version of "Enneade" had become a very rare collector's item. It is now re-issued for the great happiness of the numerous fans. This album is a must for any Zeuhl fan, but also an ideal introduction to this unique universe...
