I'm always drawn in when I hear those words 'Throbbing Bass' Anyway here is a review to give people some idea: This album is probably as close as anything can get to zeuhl without having any vocals. All the instrumental elements are here: lots of heavy throbbing bass, very active drumming, repetitive themes, and an overall dark, somewhat oppressive feel. That said, Rahmann inject a very distinct feel to their brand of "instrumental zeuhl" - for one thing, the colors are somewhat more varied than the standard bass-drums-piano, with lots of interesting keyboard patches, some wind instruments, and some various plucked strings. There's also a lot of ethnic-sounding percussion, particularly in "Nadiamina", where Middle-Eastern-sounding percussion forms a constant backdrop for much of the piece. Overall, that nebulous Middle-Eastern ethnic feel permeates the whole album, which shouldn't be too surprising, given that the bandleader (as detailed in the excellent liner notes) was born in Algiers. My favorite is "Danse Sacrée", with its foreboding piano-led opening breaking into a frenetic jam led by fast, throbbing bass and great lead lines on guitar, keys, and violin. The band flawlessly runs through lots of start-and-stop themes, punctuated masterfully by the piano. This sort of tight group interplay is representative of the whole album, and is one of the strongest aspects of Rahmann's music. There are few true solos around; instead, cohesive group compositions dominate. Incidentally, the four bonus tracks (7-10) are all significantly different from the "official" album versions, and though all of them are inferior to the originals, it's interesting to see these compositions in earlier forms. This is a very competently produced album, with very clear sound and excellent instrumental performances. The compositions are up to snuff as well; anyone with a soft spot for the wide pantheon of zeuhl bands will likely enjoy this stuff as well. Recommended to anyone who thinks a cross between zeuhl a la Magma and Eastern-tinged fusion a la Mahavishnu Orchestra sounds like an interesting proposition.

Oh man.. If either of you find some of this.. Contact me

This sounds like some super stuff !

Obviously seen a cd reissue then. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

I think it would be safe to say  Musea has done a little reissue of the album, so it says on this site.

I have been tossing up '20 Jazz Funk Greats', but what would you suggest Yu, their discography is quite prolific. I keep seeing them linked to Psuchic TV and get a little turned off, I had a bit of a bad experience with one of their albums

Don't worry too much about the Pyschick Youth/TV or whatever connections BV. Incidentally Chris and Cosey of TG made two superb early LPs 'Heartbeat' and 'Trance' and some of Christopherson's Coil is pretty tasty too.

Start with '20 Jazz Funk Greats' and 'The 3rd and Final Report...' (always better to buy TD on vinyl as their artwork and various inserts and pamphlets are highly entertaining) The compilation collects a few essential and curios of TD whilst 3rd... is just stunning experimentalism. Expect the unexpected and you can't go wrong!

The 'wreckers of civilisation' have a fascinating history.

Yukorin wrote: Industrial (Rock) Industrial refers to music with sounds that correspond to those of an urban nature, including noise and timbres often repetitive, atonal, mechanical, and droning. It winds its thread from the rock section into the electronic, trans-genre and metal fields. Rock groups known as industrial range from the late 70s/early 80s to the present day in styles from the abstract and experimental to dance and pop music. A number of important groups that span a wide variety of styles include Throbbing Gristle (considered the progenitor of the genre and the genesis of its name), Skinny Puppy, Einsturzende Neubauten, Cabaret Voltaire, Nocturnal Emissions, Zoviet France, Nurse With Wound, Chrome and Nine Inch Nails. from http://www.gepr.net/genre2.html Nice an' clear

I would be assmuing you are a fan of this genre. I know I am, I have been listening to a lot of Zoviet France latey and have really been digging it.

Here is a little on the band for those interested:

Zoviet*France: is an idiosyncratic collective of anonymous postindustrialists, dronologists, and pseudo-ethnomusicologists. Their investigations have taken them into fictional cultures where nothing is easily located and reality often slips into the hypnagogic. Having secluded themselves in Newcastle, England since their inception in 1982, :Zoviet*France: have developed a radical relationship with the cheap technologies of old-fashioned tape recorders, homemade acoustic instruments, primitive looping and sampling devices, and basic dub trickery. From these machines, the collective has crafted a distinctly unique vocabulary of postindustrial sonic hypnosis. Just as :Zoviet*France:'s sound was alchemic reconfigurations of inexpensive technologies, their vinyl packaging literally covered their sounds with aluminum, roofing shingles, and porcelain.
Members in alphabetical order Paolo di Paolo (1984-1986), Andy Eardley (1990-1995), Lisa Hale (1980-1981), Peter Jensen (1980-1984), Ben Ponton (1980-present), Mark Spybey (1987-1989), Robin Storey (1980-1992), Mark Warren (1995-present)

I never thought I would post in the Zeuhl thread,let alone ask for a recommendation.

I recently got turned on to the band Dun and their superb album Eros and it really grabbed me.Can anyone give me some recommendations,preferrably some bands/albums that are similar to Dun?

Thanks progheads.
