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...

Art Zoyd's early and great works have been unavailable for such a long time that it's too easy to forget what a strikingly original and amazing band they were in their prime. One of the original R.I.O bands (they joined in the second wave of bands...

"Erik Baron is a bass player and leader of the band from the Bordeaux band 'DésAccordes'. This third album, after 'Cordeyades' and 'In C', is revisiting Jannick top’s Magnum Opus 'De futura Hiroshima', initially released on Magma’s album 'Udu Wudu'...

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...

Birds and Buildings is another band led by keyboardist, guitarist & vocalist Dan Britton, who is also in Cerebus Effect and was behind the pretty awesome Deluge Grandeur album not so long ago...

Bondage Fruit, led by guitarist Kido Natsuki, who also plays in Korekyojinn, were part of the Japanese Zeuhl explosion of the early 1990's, along with Koenjihyakkei and Happy Family, and this is somewhat similar to these bands and similarly good!...

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...

Good, unique Mexican band who don't get enough attention outside of their home country, but who slayed all of the audience at Progday a few years ago.

"Cabezas de Cera (CDC for short), founded in 1995, are a instrumental trio hailing from...

Terrific album from this heavy zeuhl/brutal prog, project, led by bassist James Huggett. This has all the things that made their first album a clear winner with one additional secret weapon: Elaine di Falco, the magnificent singer of Hughscore...

Fifth release from this churning, heavy, band who are somewhere between zeuhl and noise-rock. Leader/band conceptualist James Huggett performs on fretless five string bass and programing (which provides the heavy drumming). Also appearing is Martin...

I saw Corima about in 2008, but at the time, they were a duo (or a trio - I can't remember, honestly, but I think it was a duo) and they were not as developed or as powerful as they are now. After I saw them, they moved to LA and added more members and...

This is issued in a lovely, hand-numbered edition of 300 in a thick jacket and pressing and includes an insert (a reproduction of a late 70s poster) and with two download cards. One card provides access to the CD-only bonus tracks as mp3s, the text &...

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 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...

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...

Happy Family are a Japanese instrumental quartet (keyboards, guitar, bass, drums) who are influenced by groups such as Magma, Univers Zero, Weidorje, King Crimson & Area. If you can imagine a full CD's worth of the kind of inspired playing & intensity ...

This is the third (and only currently available) DVD by Koenjihyakkei. As usual, this is a wild race into Zeuhl territory, with all the throbbing bass, wild, Vander-inspired drumming, & Kobaian-via-Japan singing you could hope for. This is the most...

Docmenting their European tour of 2009, this features 2 new songs that are unavailable elsewhere and totals 75 minutes. Each DVD they release is a bit more professional looking and has more camera angles than the one before, and this is beginning to...

Another great, great power-trio release by this excellent Japanese band featuring drummer Yoshida Tatsuya, leader of Ruins and Koenjihyakkei, & also featuring guitarist Kido Natsuki [Bondage Fruit] and bassist Nasuno Mitsuru [Altered States]. This band...

This is the 7th great release by this super Japanese power trio featuring amazing drummer Yoshida Tatsuya, leader of Ruins and Koenjihyakkei, mighty guitarist Kido Natsuki [Bondage Fruit] and astounding bassist bassist Nasuno Mitsuru [Altered States]....

One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. This was the last of the 70's Magma discs, & while it has some great moments, is not the best place to start. [Seventh]

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...
