Bernard Paganotti's group's third and final album. Full confession - I'm missing two of the tracks so reviewing based on
being 20 minutes short of the full effort. Zeuhl influence practically zero at this point. Reviewed as a jazz album though, its
pretty good. Classic piano and sax mix with deep bass - its a bit lounge-style really but if you listen hard it does retain
some of the darker or alien elements of Zeuhl, particularly in Jazzobizz. That's probably the best track for me, with Urantia
being very middling, and Coup de Blues somewhat lacking in elements beyond 'the usual' when it comes to smooth-ish
Jazz, and minus points for English lyrics on this occasion! Zigzag is also a decent track to finish off. The debut Paga album was almost a masterpiece of Zeuhl-Jazz, while Haunted was a cheesy 80s mess. Gnosis is somewhere in between. If you're looking for Zeuhl, probably best not to bother, but its a good enough example of a decent jazz album
