Here is a French avant-gardiste band that released eleven albums.

It was founded in 1973 by Gilbert Artman.

This band is composed of 30 saxophonists, 1o chorists, 3 percussionnists and a bassist.

I've listened to these guys on Myspace before, though I wasn't sure if I'd consider them avant-rock based on what I heard. I'll give them another listen.

I don't think the samples in the player do this band justice.

Pierre Henry & Urban Sax's Paradise Lost is a damned fine album.

The challenging krautrockin' looped electronic project LARD FREE is already included, so I can imagine to see Urban sax included in the archives one of these days. Thanks.

Nice band, but I think they fit better in the JazzArchives Tongue

Urban Sax in JazzArchives??? Well, from what I heard, they're hardly jazz! Avant-garde indeed (so much avant-garde that I can't see them as "rock"), but not jazz.

I do at least think that Pierre Henry and Urban Sax is worthy of inclusion.
