I know and love Present, Univers Zero, Aksak Maboul, and X-Legged Sally. I suppose I will look into the others too.

...and Univers Zero is my favourite.

You will be able to see them live in your living room soon as there is a DVD coming out soon

Live in Paris for the Tritonales

Should be very close to the CD and the show I saw

Must be awesome to see Univers Zero live, I love Heresie 

Haven't heard any of the other bands though I'm afraid

There is a brand new live Univers Zero album that got released this months and you will be hearing yours trully yelling and applausing in the public

 

June 24th at Les Halles De Scharbeek - over by 10:30 PM and half the public rushing out to see Present playing three Km away - they had delayed so the public could see both

BTW- I think the name Ceux Du Dehors is really good and mysterious, just brilliant.

Ceux Du Dehors is the cornerstone album of their early career, linking the completely acoustic period of the 1313 and Heresie period to the definitely more electric and more accessible later period - of which I find Uzed their best example until the Implosion album.

I got today "Slow Up" by X-Legged Sally.

Only one review on this site for it. And guess who wrote it?

I'll listen to it later. I have high expectations.

Just a very weak excuse of a philosophical question as a pretext to bump this back to the first page

I don't know about other members, but I have been in a very RIOesque/AVANTesque mood lately.

There are some albums I just keep on listening to (UZ and Thinking Plague among them).

Actually, I just posted this so Sean will be glad his thread remains up there...

I have Heresie and Heatwave Which I really love and I just ordered "Ceux Du Dehors". I love hard and challenging music, just give me more of that. As I have this OCD (like I confessed in another thread you probably know here) I'll probably get all of their albums eventaully. Besides them I also  want to buy Aksak Maboul, Present, Julverne and X-Legged Sally. You probably guess in which format I currently listen to them .

I have Univers Zero ''1313'',I find it hard and challenging to listen to.Very dark and brooding.I 'm not sure it's their best and most representative.

Cos ''Postealonian Train Robbery''.Great Canterbury with Zheul traces.Female voices that reminds me of National Health/Hatfield and the North,also Zao comes to mind.

Pazop.I don't remember the title,but it's a complete album of mostly unreleased stuff recorded in the early 70's.Violin.flute,sax AND humor a la Supersister.They emerged from another great band Waterloo.

To me, UZ is one of the best around the world playing that style of music, period! I just received their new live CD, and it's mindblowing!
What happened to this song we once knew so well???
