FANFARE DU CHAOS

"Playful" isn't a word which is often applied to zeuhl - though away from their more serious epics Magma did have their moments - but on Fanfare du Chaos Rhùn make a bid to change that. Here and there I catch mild influences from the Canterbury scene (not quite the unexpected mix you may think, since both the Canterbury sound and zeuhl are essentially both strange mutations of jazz-rock), and zeuhl purists may be shocked to hear vocals in English which can actually be understood by normal human beings, but if you want a spacier take on the Magma sound which retains a key awareness of the jazz roots of zeuhl, Rhùn deliver.
