There is one Troll/Altmayer track on the excellent Musea zeuhl sampler 'Enneade' which is really sweet. Don't make the mistake I did of getting the only available LP/CD 'Troll 2' I left my copy next to garbage bins outside Tescos with a warning note.

　ミシェル・アルトマイエールは70年代中盤に活動していたトロルというアンダーグラウンドなバンドの中心人物である。記憶が定かではないが、トロルの前身バンド？（マンドラゴラ）には、80年代になってソロ活動で有名になったジャン・パスカル・ボフォが在籍していたらしい。マンドラゴラおよびトロルは共にZeuhl系（マグマ関連）の音楽性をもったバンドあるが、今で言うインディーズレベルの活動であったらしく、作品はカセットテープでのみ発表されていたようだ。
　このアルバムは1988年に発表されたミシェル・アルトマイエールのソロ・アルバムであり、77年～84年までのトロルの曲が収められている。豪華なゲストを迎えて、86～87年にかけて録音されたものである。面白い事にアルバムタイトルがTROLL Vol.2で、アナログＡ面がFace３・Ｂ面がFace４となっている。Vol.１という作品の存在を匂わせるが、どうやら未発表であるらしい。尚、ミシェル・アルトマイエールのその後の活動もあまり知られていないが、2003年に出されたATOLLの新作「Illian, J'entends gronder la Terre」にドラムで参加している。
　肝心の内容はZeuhl系というには余りにも軽いフレンチ・フュージョンっぽい作品だが、アルトマイエール本人もマグマ人脈のゲスト陣も凄腕のプレイヤーだけあって引き締まった演奏である。ほとんどの曲が英詩で歌われていること・アルトマイエールの歌い方がムーディー過ぎること・イジーリスニング調の曲が多いことを考えると、トロル本来の持ち味とは違ったニュアンスで録音し直したと思わざるをえない。（だって、Zeuhl系のアングラ・バンドがこんな普通の綺麗なフュージョン音楽をやっていたはずがないから。）
　否定的な感想になってしまったが、すべてが悪いということではない。１曲目「IGOR - DANCE &REJOICING」はIGORという名前から想像できるように、ストラビンスキーのような風変わりで雄大なメロディーとリズムが反復する曲で、ステラ・バンダーとクラウス・ブラスキの目の覚めるような歌声が満喫できる。３曲目「UD IOR LESS ORDEK !!!」は跳ね回るようなバイオリンとはじけたリズムが楽しい。そして極めつけが５曲目の「ANKH 」である。比較的単純なフレーズを繰り返す曲であるが、ナタリー・バセット（多分奥さん？）の奏でる艶やかで情感溢れるアルト・バイオリンが素晴らしく、それをサポートする２本のバイオリンとホーンセクションが相まって非常にクラシカルかつ壮大な曲に仕上っている。

Yuko, a question for you on two French bands: Verto and Vortex.
They are on the ZART (Zeuhl/Avant/RIO Team) list of to be added bands (after voting). Not much info is to be found on them (and their albums are not too easy to find either and sample are also hard to come by).
You know them? If so (and you probably do), what are your thoughts?
 
Some links:

Hi avers,
 
Vortex are an essential part of the Zeuhl ZigZaw so please add 'em !
 
        Verto is kinda like NWW meets Heldon. Very avant-garde

This Tesco's place sounds alot like this Nameless Thrift store i live near (with nothing but Kenny G albums.. And the occasional Asia Cassette Tape). But somehow everytime my little brothers goes down there he come's back with a cup warmer, and a 50 cent popcorn maker.

Both Hellebore and Vortex are available in binary. God knows where  to find 'em though. Musea perhaps ?

Anyone know anything about this band? They are hear on the archives under prog-folk, but they were no that guy's list

Saga De Ragnar Lodbrock

I was a little sucked in via the Tolkien Zeuhl

This is the review someone wrote on this site.

SAGA DE RAGNAR LODBROCK — Saga De Ragnar Lodbrock

Review by hola

4 stars What to say, this album scares me so much, it has voices throw silence, and you feel being into a medieval casttle, with a ghostly man singing in the dark....well, that was my first impressions when i heard this album, and certainly has strong moments how it has weak instances...well, i recommend to people who loves hearing a voice who is the leader of the music....maybe you'll feel dissapointed, because it isn't true prog, but it you appreciatte all the experimental grounds musicians could explore, i say go and hear in a cd store this disc, and if you like it, buy it!!



Also love this one:

Sleaze Art - decidedly crowds, where never a quintetto has been looked at of low electrical workers! Bass zeuhl.

Welcome back BV !
 
I could swear I've heard the Saga De Ragnar Lodbrock LP. Can't say for sure whether it is Tolkien Zeuhl or CS Lewis Zeuhl. Hola's review sounds like it would be right up your avenue !
