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...

The release of this great jazz/rock/Zeuhl album on CD is a cause of great joy for me personally. This is one of the albums I've long waited to appear on CD and also one of the ones that I most wanted Soleil Zeuhl to tackle. This is a nonet of vibes...

The last record by this fine pianist/keyboardist, who first came into the public's eye with Magma and Zao. This is a jazz/electric jazz release that features François on keyboards, François Causse-drums, Petteri Parviainen-electric bass, Leonard Le...

For those who take communion at the altar of Zeuhl, the small but completely excellent Soleil Zeuhl label always deliver the goods. But now, they've completely outdone themselves by finally presenting a reissue of the most desired, never-before...

Released by a division of Magma's label, featuring Antoine Paganotti on vocals and with the group singing in an 'imaginary language', you might assume that this sounds like Magma. Well, it doesn't, but it has vocal similarities and ties to Zeuhl music...

Emerging in the very late 1970's, Eskaton were one of the very first Zeuhl bands. This was their very first release, which came out originally on cassette only! At this time, the group consisted of three keyboardists (Fender Rhodes, organ, synthesizer)...

Emerging in the very late 1970's, Eskaton were one of the very first Zeuhl bands. This was their second vinyl album which was recorded in late 1982, and is reissued for the very first time. Dual female vocals chant and soar above the churning bass and...

A reissue of one of the must-have releases from this amazing, technical, skronk-filled, BRUTAL, 'brutal-prog' band led by Weasel Walter. Originally released in 2001, this was is the first release by the trio lineup of drums + 2 really agressive...

When Richard Pinhas was recently in the USA in May, 2011, I heard great things about this band who were opening for them who were a young, post-whatever, Magma-influenced group. This is their second album and it's really good and it's vinyl only...

Black Oni is the greatly anticipated follow up to the band's extremely well received and popular album Five Suns. For their sixth album, the band continues to mine the same raw ore that they used for Five Suns. Again a trio of Daniel O'Sullivan (Fender...

Y'know, running this business is a lot more work then many people think. However, there is something nice about being able to say, with a completely straight face, "The fourth album by Yoshida Tatsuy's Koenjihyakkei project is one of Wayside's most...

This reissues in remastered form the very first Koenjihyakkei album, which was originally released in Japan in a limited edition, quickly gained a great reputation and dissapeared from view after a couple of years (we carried it for as long as it was...

One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. This was their 2nd, & the first where they began to find their own true voice. With a crack line up including Christian Vander, Francis Moze, Teddy Lasry, Francois Cahen, & many more. While...

What I said: This period was Magma's nadir, but even so, there is some decent to good stuff on here and a few really good players (Benoit Widemann, Jean-Luc Cheavlier, Dominique Bertram, etc.) all wearing amazing, ridiculous, new wave/sci-fi costumes...

The latest release from Magma's archive series is this show taken from the Attahk tour, recorded April 17, 1979. While it is simply a soundboard stereo recording, a lot of work has been done to make it sound as good as possible, and it sounds pretty...
