This is the second poll includes 25 other favourite albums from 25 other acts with a French connection (released or founded in France) from the 1970s. Sorry if you don't favour my album choices from the acts or my choices of acts regardless of album.
There are over 60 albums listed below, 25 were in part one, and one another 25 are in part two. Those with an asterisk are in part one and those with a pound symbol are in part 2 (i.e this poll). Jean-Pierre Alarcen - Tableau N° 1 (1979) # Ange - Au-delà du délire (1974) # Arachnoïd - Arachnoïd (1979) * Archaïa - Archaïa (1977) * Art Zoyd - Musique pour l'Odyssée (1979) # Atoll - L'araignée-mal (1975) * Besombes-Rizet - Pôle (1975) # Tim Blake - Crystal Machine (1977) # Emmanuel Booz - Le Jour où les Vaches... (1974) Jean-Louis Bucchi - Sunflower (1978) # Carpe Diem - En regardant passer le temps (1975) # Clearlight - Clearlight Symphony (1975) * Clivage - Mixtus Orbis (1978) * Cortex - Troupeau bleu (1975) (not in PA, but relevant) # Pascal Duffard - Dieu est Fou (1976) # Etron fou leloublan - Batelages (1977) * Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire de Melody Nelson (1971) * Gong - You (1974) (Gong formed in France even if "multinational") * Alain Goraguer - La planète sauvage (1973) Jean-Philippe Goude & Olivier Colé - Jeunes Années (1976) * Heldon - Stand By (1979) # Herbe Rouge - Côté Cour, Côté Jardin [aka Herbe Rouge] (1978) Honeyelk - Stoyz vi Dozévéloy (1979) Horrific Child - L'étrange Mr. Whinster (1976) # Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygène (1976) # Kha - Ym - 10 "GMT (1979) * Komintern - Le bal du rat mort (1971) * Lard Free - Gilbert Artman's Lard Free (1973) # Tedd Lasry - E = MC² (1976) # Ma banlieue flasque - Ma banlieue flasque (1979) * Magma - Kobaïa (1970) Malicorne - Malicorne (1975) * Gerard Manset - La mort d'Orion (1970) # Memoriance - Et après... (1976) * Moving Gelatine Plates - The World of Genius Hans (1972) * Janko Nilović - Rythmes contemporains (1974) (not in PA, but very relevant jazz fusion, imo, who moved to France in 1960) # Pentacle - La Clef des Songes (1975) # Richard Pinhas - Chronolyse (1978) * Plat du jour - Plat du jour (1977) # Pulsar - The Strands of the Future (1976) * Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes - Paix (1972) # Rialzu - Rialzu [aka U Rigiru] (1978) # Ripaille - La vieille que l'on brûla (1977) # Karl Heinz Schäfer - Les gants blancs du diable (1973) (not in PA, a German composer who worked a lot in France) # Yochk'o Seffer - Ghilgoul (1978) * William Sheller - Lux Aeterna (1972) # Shylock - Gialorgues (1977) * Space Art - Trip in the Center Head (1977) # Laurent Thibault - Mais on ne peut pas rêver tout le temps (1979) Christian Vander - Tristan et Iseult (1974) * Jean-Claude Vannier - L'enfant assassin des mouches (1972) Visitors - Visitors (1974) * Vortex - Les cycles de Thanatos (1979) * Igor Wakhévitch - Docteur Faust (1971) # Wapassou - Wapassou (1974) * Weidorje - Weidorje (1979) Bernard Xolotl - Journey to an Oracle (1977) * Zao - Osiris (1974) * Zanov - Green Ray (1976) # Zed - Visions of Dune (1979) ZNR - Barricade 3 (1976) Please vote for up to five (or more is you really want to) and mention those, and feel free to mention other favourites. It's not a contest and the posts mean more to me than just the votes themselves. I know say with Magma in part one, more would go with, say, MDK or Udu Wudu, and I really like those (and have a very extensive Magma collection), but I adore the debut. |

Hi, I still have all these ... and love them all. Here's a couple more (haven't seen the 2nd list!) Mona Lisa Alan Stivell ... though a Breton considered a Frenchman is probably an insult? Dan Ar Braz Pierre Henri

^ I do also like Mona Lisa (one of the earlier French bands I got into) and Pierre Henry. Those did come to mind as I made the list. As well as Urban Sax. If I do an 80s one or two, then Pierre Henry & Urban Sax's Paradise Lost will be there (unless I forget, which is very possible. I also forget that I have forgotten that which I forget which I forgot, or something like that, I forget).

Went with Ange, Atoll, and Carpe Diem. For Emmanuel Booz, I like his Dans quel état j'erre album the most - might even be in my top 5 French prog albums. There are too many denominators and not enough numerators in my cookie box.

JMJ (don't know any others). I've added about 4 or 5 albums to my streaming service and having a listen to Tim Blake at the moment (didn't he play with Mike Oldfield?) . Great stuff!

^ Oh, no worries. I like all of those albums too.
If I were to do a post-70s one, then I would want to include: Abus dangereux - Le quatrième mouvement Dün - Eros Eider stellaire - s/t Eskaton - 4 Visions Hellebore - Il y a des jours PinioL - Bran coucou PoiL, well PoiL Ueda with Yosh*tsune Rahmann -s/t Shub-Niggurath - Les morts vont vite Taal - Mister Green or Kymind (been a long time since I listened to those) Volapük - Polyglöt or Where Is Tamashii? And if covering acts covered in a 70s poll, I'd want Magma and Art Zoyd for a post 70s album... I'd go with Le mariage du ciel et de l'enfer or Génération sans futur from Art Zoyd and Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré for Magma. But then I'd want to do it in General Music Discussions to also include: Air Matt Elliott (if including someone who moved to France) Melody's Echo Chamber Natural Snow Buildings Noir Désir St Germain Yann Tiersen TwinSisterMoon Edited by Logan - October 25 2024 at 17:25 |
