Steve! Flutes in Denmark are a type of bread. Butter is if course highly recommended, but only if you enjoy smoothness and white in yellow. Something has to give, I don't like pineapple. Bonjour.

Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson's side-project 'Bass Communion' - some very dark and eerie soundscapes there - especially 'Ghosts on Magnetic Tape'.

I'll second (or third?) Yeti.  Kind of like an instrumental, garage band version of Magma.

OK three pages before I put my two cents in and I want a penny for my thoughts.

Try John Zorn's Ipsissiumus and get back to me.


Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I can vouch for Yeti.  Dark Zeuhlish heavy music from the USA.  I was actually given their first demo to review (back when I was writing for Expose') and loved it so much it made my top 10 of that year.  Thick distorted bass, creepy synthesizers, dark riffs. Kind of like "De Futura" turned into a band concept.   I also have their debut "Things to Come" and it's like the demo but more fleshed out and cleaner sounding (not always a plus).

edit: wait.... flutes with butter you say?

Allright Tom - I have to log off now and make sensible things such as water my mother's orchids and prep a nice little pasta sauce.

Cheers man - nice to meet you!

I don't actually have that Hammill album yet, but your description of it makes me want it!
Though, and here I am speculating, I don't imagine it being mostly instrumental....Clown

Getting back to the French. I can't believe a band like Nebelnest hasn't been mentioned yet!
NOT the best of sound qualities, but I guess the gist is there:


Or else try their Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/nebelnest

Hey, why not try Peter Hammill's 'In Camera' ??  P.H. does Goth.

Hell yes! 
I believe it was my good friend HolyMoly(Steve) who recently reminded me of just how earshatteringly heavy that one is. The stuff of paint peelers and werewolves. One of my absolute favourite albumsHeart

LOL Well just a little bit.... Though in all fairness, that last Circle recommendation were also directed at him. Dark, turbulent and mainly instrumental. Should tick at least two of those boxes methinks.

Hey ho before I forget - I read a review of yours concerning a French band called Nyl. Is that something that fits within this thread? They were after all French....
NYL - no, not dark at all, just primo psych.  Great little album.  How about Amon Duul II's 'Yeti' ??  That's one fantastic listen.

Is it this one?
Laibach - Neu Konservatiw - album cover

I don't have Neu Konservativ, but I've got their Opus Dei album which is recommendable, if you're into dark industrial Faust-like stagnancy.

BTW Monsieur Ozric - may I just say thank you for all the music you've made me buy on a whim after reading one of your reviews. I am a small fortune poorer because of you and John the MellotronLOL So yeah thank you both....
Sir Guldbamsen !!  Nice to make your on-line acquaintance Handshake.  Slight detour from the topic-at-hand....I can't recall the title at all (must be dementia....Confused).  Love reading your reviews - I don't review often enough (and I think I over-rate in many cases...). Mellotron John on the other hand......twas your's and John's review that prompted me to get the vinyl of Amoeba Split recently. Aaah yeah, those hills of Grey and Pink......a far cry from Shub Niggurath...Thanks to all.

The feeling is mutual good sirHandshake Hahah gotta love the internet eh?
I'm glad that Amoeba Split album reaches somebody's ears, because it is quite frankly stunning. Not often you come across albums that keep all of the quintessential Canterbury flair intact. 

In keeping with this thread though, and before we get ahead of ourselves - what about some Finnish Krautrock a la CAN?

I give you Circle:
