Also...

Has anyone here heard of Pascal Duffard? Searching the whole of www.progarchives.com gives a whopping result of 1 mention as him being considered for the joke category of protozeuhlrelated. That seems like a shame, and I kind of want to spread the word a little bit here.

I'm not one to praise obscure music just because it's obscure and enigmatic, *cough*LesRallizesDenudes*cough* and in fact I've generally found that obscure music might be good, but pretty much never amazingly great. But I just found Duffard's one and only album, Dieu est fou, and, uh... it's amazingly great.

Or rather, it's great in that subtle way that Kohntarkosz is, where at first you think it's pure sh*t, but then you're drawn back to it, and suddenly realize it's kind of a masterpiece. I wouldn't really call it zeuhl, at least not under the same criteria that gets other bands labeled as zeuhl. There's a bit of genre melding going on here, with modern classical music and zeuhl (which I happen to think are extremely close genres to begin with), as well as some pretty intense RIO, and the French chanson tradition. If anything, it's closest to modern classical. By the way, there's quite a few Magma alumni playing on it.

I don't want to hype it up too much, but I'll say that it has this contrast of static harmony and radical shifts in musical style, that gives it an impressionistic feel not too distant from 1970's Magma, along with the French new wave in cinema (I'm not going to explain that further, just thought I'd throw it out there).

PnF might have some info if you're interested.


 
indeed.. I haven't recognised that PnF thing when I first saw this post, then I made some google search... luckily, in the first page I found this... (I would've made a blog search anyway Wink) Can't wait to hear...
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

^^^ you remember those two killer live tracks which Cleo sent us on the unreleased Zeuhl compilation? I'm pretty sure this would be those tracks. Well that's what I though anyway. Some of my favourite Eider material (though a little rough on the edges).

p.s. seen two Godard films so far, Breathless and Masculine-Feminine, the latter of the two was captivating (I was quite taken with Chantal Goya ;) , loved it!

Hi BV, I'm aware of the 2 tracks but it doesn't constitute its own listing surely!?
 
Chantal Goya was a real cutie yep! Love 'Laisse-Moi' from Masculin Feminin. Not quite in the France Gall league but still smokin'

yeah it probably shouldn't be listed, especially since it is a bootleg

Wow, I see you what you mean, I found they have quite a similar demeanor! I will check out some of the other youtube clips soon.

You can't go wrong with any of France Gall in the 60s. This is as good a compilation as any

1. MDK (Magma)
2. Eros (Dun)
3. Kobaia (Magma)
4. Angherr Shisspa (Koenjihyakkei)
5. Esameron (Runaway Totem)

I've only heard 7 zeuhl albums in total, so this list is the product of a very limited view.

(And both MDK and Eros are mindblowing!!!)

Yeah, Kobaia is awesome (almost 5 stars) but I would suggest you try and get a copy of Eros. That is mind-blowing, if you ask me. Also, if I'm not mistaken, there are many, MANY better magma studio albums than Kobaia (just ask Jake). But yes, Kobaia is pretty awesomely sickly ill.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Kobaia, I much prefer MDK, Kohntarkosz, Wurdah Itah, K.A., Udu Wudu, Attahk, and 1001 Degrees.

For my tastes, I've found Zeuhl to be the most consistently good category at this site.  I have so many great Zeuhl albums.  If you haven't heard Eskaton yet, I suggest you pick up their albums next -- starting with 4 Visions.

And that Pascal Duffard album mentioned earlier in the thread immediately became a favourite.
