I was brosing this Magma website, and had categories for Zeuhl, Japanese Zeuhl, New Musics etc.
 
According to this guy New Musics has bands like Art Zoyd (I knew of Univers Zero calling themselves this). New musics IMO do have more in common with Zeuhl than a lot of Rio and Avant prog bands, I think Univers Zero and Art Zoyd would fit more comfortably in a Zeuhl-New Musics hybrid category, since a fan of Magma would more likely be interested in UV than a fan of Henry Cow.
I do know that UV joined RIO, but, to my kniowlege, that was more of an ideological movement than a musical style. For example if Genesis joined RIO (just an example, I know its highly unlikely) would they be categorised under RIO?.
 I think keep the Avan/RIO section, but remove the New Musics and fuse them with Zeuhl to have a Zeuhl/New Musics category.
I think this would make for some more consistency in the archives. After al, New Musics bands like Univers Zero are arguably Zeuhl themselves, or at least have a very strong Zeuhl presence.
Thanks for your time anyway, just a suggestion.Smile
