This release is by a Japanese duo that Alain of Soleil Zeuhl discovered. Yoshiyuki plays keyboards/synths/programming and Yoshihiro Yamaji plays guitar and bass. All of the drums are programmed, but they do a very good job of it, and this excellent deb...

Second release by this instrumental Japanese duo of Yoshiyuki Nakamima-piano, organ, keyboards, bass guitar and Yoshihiro Yamaji-guitar. Their debut was a very good first effort, but it suffered from having programmed drums. It had some of the best...

BBI is Philippe Bussonet on bass (Magma's magnificent bassist since 1995, as well as one of the powers behind One Shot), Jean-Claude Buire on drums (drummer for Offering in the late 1980s) and Laurent Imperato on guitar (a founding member of Xaal...

This is the second release by this excellent jazz/rock/zeuhl band, led by drummer, vocalist & composer Serge Bringolf. His first album was entitled Strave and then when he formed a more permanent band, the band became known as Strave. The sound is a...

A great 5 piece, who simply tore the house down at ProgDay in 2013 and were one of the stunning highlights of the festival. This is the music they played there. Hugely recommended!

I saw Corima about in 2008, but at the time, they were a duo and...

"Now that ONE SHOT has split, this is the very first project of an ex-member to see the light. The band is led by drummer Daniel Jeand'Heur.

The music itself, while firmly connected to the classic One Shot sound (a heavy bass, explosive drums, Fender Rhodes, long tracks), also features a horn section.

The result, as you may expect from such a band, is a bridge between the most electric jazz-rock bands and prog. But the real sensation here is the inclusion of occasional vocals that add a...

Very good first effort from a new generation of French Zeuhl.
Carole Sauvage-Fender Rhodes, Yannick Duchene-guitar, vocals, William Pawelzik-bass, Christophe Gratien-drums.

"Reissue of an obscure underground French album from 1980. NOA features a histrionic female vocalist, piping the French language and enunciating syllables just like another instrument. The music of Noa is of the jazzy Zeuhl variety, with plenty of sax...

"Olive Mess is a band from Latvia (ex-USSR) that plays a very original progressive music. The line-up features guitar ( electric, classic, baroque ), bass, keyboards, drums, occasional sax, and a superb soprano female singer. Olive Mess was founded by...

"Reissue of a rare as hell lp from 1978 (reaches $1,000 + on eBay) issued in micro quantity only in Corsica (a French Island located between France & Italy). Strongly rooted into mediterranean culture, Rialzu's sole recording is a highly original...

I just saw these guys in Paris and they totally KILLED it from beginning to end!

This is the second album by the fine quintet of composer/drummer/multi-instrumentalist François Thollot. He is a real talent and he has two previous albums on SZ...

Francois Thollot-bass
Antony Pontet-electric piano, organ

Clement Curaudeau-drums

This is the fourth release by Scherzoo, the band of multi-instrumentalist and composer Francois Thollot.
This all instrumental work operates somewhere in the realm between Canterbury-influenced sounds and zeuhl giving a unique slant to both styles and ending up being extremely enjoyable (as all of Francois’ work is)!

I just saw these folks in Paris at the Soleil Zeuhl festival, and they were unbelievably great and also quite cosmically intense in a spiritual way. They performed this album and it's a revelation!

One of the highlights of 2007 was the debut...

Originally released as the "demo tape" Shub Niggurath. White vinyl. Sleeve is rigid plastic screenprinted by Atelier de sérigraphie de Doc, Paris. Cover design inspired by "Neptune's horses" Walter Crane (1893). Limited, hand-numbered edition of 500.
First time-ever release of the band’s great demo tape on vinyl in a VERY striking and unique package!
Shub Niggurath were a brilliant, very dark, French Zeuhl band. The original line-up (the only line-up that matters, imo) featured...

Excellent instrumental Zeuhl album by Franois on guitar and piano, but, unlike his first allbum, where he played all the instruments himself, this features a crack rhythm section: Philippe Bussonnet (Magma, One Shot) on bass and Daniel Jeandheur (One Shot) on drums. If you like zeuhl, this is essential; recommended. "A HIGHLY energetic recording, lead by a rhythm section on fire. Thollot's guitar is on top, with a somewhat airy Frippian sound. The music is not so dark as on his first album being more...

"This is the 1st album by a French band whose sound & compositional style are firmly rooted into Zeuhl and who features a line-up of vocals, guitar, bass, drums, synths, & flute.

Vak started in 2008, centered around the prog/zeuhl compositions...

Released by the always excellent Soleil Zeuhl label and given who appears on here, you won't be surprised to learn that this is a mostly excellent and very entertaining take on the music of Christian Vander. All tracks previously unreleased and
