I've been revisiting a bunch of Zeuhl lately...

So if you could only keep one Zeuhl album, which would it be?

Magma - Retrospektiw I-II

Kobaia, probably.

Non-Magma, Eskaton - 4 Visions

As much as i love all my Magma albums, the first one that comes to mind is DÜN - Eros

Eskaton is a great choice too.

^^ I think I'm very close to your opinion of Hhai and 4 Visions, though I think I prefer 4 Visions slightly

^ Raff, good to see you!

I heard some Eskaton tracks on our mutual friend Ian B.'s radio show a few months ago, and loved them! Another band on my growing wish list.

Heck yeah, I remember that show. Big smile

Am I the only person here who thought of Koenjihyakkei first? It'd definitely be Angherr Shispa ...

Pretty much this.

Other albums are of course Weidorje but also the Bernard Paganotti Paga album.

Weidorje!!! One of my favuorite zeuhl albums.

By the way, on TP's facebook fanpage we can find a post I copied below (since it seems nobody have posted it in this thread):

Thinking Plague wrote:

Dear friends, I feel that it is again time to apologize to those who 'follow' Thinking Plague on FB for the lack of information/activity on this page. Fact is, we have no PR 'department', not even an intern or volunteer. None of us are independently well-off, and all (except me, MJ) are heavily engaged in activities aimed at making a living - teaching classes, private lessons, tutoring, accompanying dance classes, working full-time for a soulless retail behemoth, and playing in other bands or doing itinerant gigs. So, it's down to me. And generally I'm not inclined to post frivolous or irrelevant stuff just to generate 'traffic', as it were. I have written a complete new album of material and am engaged in trying to get it learned and recorded. The band is also trying to rehearse material for performance, as well as trying to land some shows, which has become increasingly difficult or untenable in recent years (wah wah, I know, whining!). So, anyway, we just want you to know that a new CD is in the works, and as always, I think it's the best TP music yet! ;) We are exploring strategies around funding for performing outside our own region, and for expediting the completion of the new CD. I'll try to post more tidbits, but please feel free to initiate any kind of relevant discussion or interaction on this page.
Thanks,
Mike

So I think we can expect some good RIO stuff next year. LOL

I don't dare for Thinking Plague to come and play in Paris, since I've heard that their last concert at Le Triton was far from being full... Unhappy
