English can't pronounce this word. Only French, German and Turkish people can do it.

I had no idea about that. Interesting.
I've always pronounced it pee-ert (we really need the IPA for this thread).

I think the correct pronunciation is somewhere between 'zurl' and 'zoil', - there's a rather tricky diphthong in the middle - but I agree that in liver performance it tends to come out more like 'zool'.

Re: zeuhl, I always assumed the German pronunciation rules would apply (so it rhymes with "boil", "coil", "foil", "soil", "toil" etc.), but I've heard it pronounced zool ("ooo" instead of "oi") in some Magma performances. I mean, despite the obvious Germanic origins of the Kobaian language, Magma is still a French band. Search me Confused

I knew it was something like that.

Has there ever been a prog pronunciation thread? I've always wanted a thread where you can ask how to pronounce various songs/albums/artist names.

Pretty much.  It's more of a Hahm-tack though.

Listen to the piece.
