NPTOLPQSIVRT (1987)
Imprint: Musea


Track list:
1. Hyafil de pute
2. A fond la caisse
3. Trois saucisses et deux moules
4. A bas la France
5. Rendez-vous sur la Pont-Neuf
6. Comme des fous (Blues en 6/8)
7. Rick Tuhh

Label info:
TRX5, XZV3, SLP3.35 and 3KR2 are several of the ex-members of the brassy jazz band NPTOLPQSIVRT. The pseudonyms chosen by the musicians might tell you something...Very weird at first listen, their work actually turns out to be a little more conventional (not that that's saying much). All sorts of instruments rub cheeks with a happy (but controlled) delirium of noisy percussion, off-kilter rhythms and thunderous solos, all of which gives the group's music a genuinely iconoclastic cachet.

Samples:
None available. Issued on vinyl only.

Trio(s) (1989)
Imprint: Musea Paralelle



Label info:
In "Trio(s)" (1989), our man presents a more jazzy music but always crossed with exotic perfumes and lightened by a luminous guitar playing. It creates a refreshing music, full of inventivity and punch.

Both have been suggested. Going through that massive list back on page 2 of this thread, step by step, and suggesting those I can find any kind of samples for that I think may have a chance. Also linking the rest to the PA database along the way. A -massive- project....

Artist: Zabu (Not in PA database)

My Coffin's Ready (1972/1993)
Imprint: Musea

Track list:
1 - Yellow Girl - (3'58)
2 - Doctor Moonshine - (3'42)
3 - Coffin's Ready - (8'27)
4 - Subversion Blues - (5'26)
5 - Informer Blues - (4'10)
6 - Silent Angel - (5'10)
7 - Ice-Pick Blues - (1'39)

Label info:
ZABU, also known under the name Lucien ZABUSKI, was the first MAGMA's first singer. A part of the Thélème label, so dear to Laurent THIBAUT, "My Coffin's Ready" (1972) proves to be very different from anything we could expect, given that it is actually a French blues album. Without any pretence, this masterpiece manages to captivate the listener all along. The singer's rough and energetic voice dominates the music with great ease. We'll also notice the participation of such prestigious musicians as Christian VANDER, Francis MOZE, Teddy LASRY, Yochk'o SEFFER and Marc PERRU. As you already know, most of them are obviously part of the Zeuhl universe. Here is then a definite historic document !

Drones (1979/1994)
Imprint: Musea

Track list:
1 - Les Saturnales - (5'16)
2 - Sicilienne - (0'57)
3 - Machine - (3'55)

9 - Tintinnabulum - (6'54)
10 - Cantilene - (3'08)
11 - Trio De Mini-Moogs - (4'59)

Label info:
Jean-Philippe GOUDE chose an all-star cast of musicians to record his album "Drônes" in 1979, today reissued by the Musea label. With the help of some famous guests such as violinist David ROSE (TRANSIT-EXPRESS), singer Klaus BLASQUIZ (MAGMA), drummer Manu KATCHE (Peter GABRIEL), François OVIDE, bass player Bernard PAGANOTTI (WEIDORJE), American drummer Kirt RUST (VOLKOR) and violinist Patrick TILLEMAN (Almost thirty musicians in total !), the former keyboards player of WEIDORJE continues his original fusion influenced as much by Zeuhl than by neo-classiscal music. He performs a dreamy but still very strong music that still owes a little something to the violence of WEIDORJE. Let's note, for instance, that four guitar players may play simultaneously ! Let's also mention the feverish sequences of HELDON, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what's all that about.

Album registered under the name Clearlight and reviewed by myself. Check Clearlight, Olav. 

Our friend used both his own name and Clearlight as his vehicle, but agreed with me that it can be labelled under Clearlight.
