Tell me about good Zeuhl

I'm not familiar with the genre short of having a few Magma albums.  I'd like to know what you reccommend me and some of the newer traits of the genre (stuff that came off of Magma or earlier Magma to get into.)

In case you're wondering, I have Magma Live, MDK and Wurdah Itah.

How's Shub-Niggurath or Happy Family or the like?

I second the Eskaton's 4 Visions recommendation. Its one of the "lightest" and accesible Zeuhl album of the ones I know of.

If you like Magma then Koenjihyakkei  - Anghers Shisspa  is a wonderful album to check out.

Shub-Niggurath's Les Morts Vont Vite is Zeulh more in the vein of chamber rock like Univers Zero or Present, but IMO more darker. So if you enjoy those bands mentioned then you wont  have any problem with it.

I wouldn't place Shub-Niggurath and Happy Family in the Zeuhl category, I would much rather have both of them in Avant-Prog, because their music isn't very Zeuhl-ish. Both are good, but I vastly prefer Shub-Niggurath, I found Happy Family to be rather boring.

For real Zeuhl, I recommend checking out Eskaton. Potemkine is also a good bet. Dün's album is very good too, but again, it's something I'd rather see in Avant-Prog. Don't forget to check out Koenjihyakkei's Angherr Shisspa (which unfortunately is the only thing I have by them).

The Swiss band Island's only album Pictures might be of interest aswell. It sounds a bit like VdGG playing Zeuhl. Found in Art Rock on this site, which is fine with me as their music isn't Zeuhl although it's similair.

There are also Zeuhl rarities such as Eider Stellaire, Archaïa and Kultivator, all of which are very good but very hard to find. But remember the names, in case you come across anything by them.

Koenjihyakkei, obviously. For classic Zeuhl check out Eskaton and Dün!
