Scherzoo is the new quintet of composer/drummer/multi-instrumentalist François Thollot. He is a real talent and he has two previous albums on SZ that are both really good, but this is the first album where he has had the involvement of a band from the....

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 that are both really good, but suffered slightly from not being band efforts (all who know...

The latest by Yochk'o comes out at the same time as his old bandmate's François Cahen's last; a bit of a sad coincidence. This is more of a jazz release than some of this works, with a fairly standard line-up of Sebastien Lovato-piano, Didier Levallet...

This band was discovered several years ago when they released a small number of really short musical snippets via their webpage and everyone's zeuhl-radar went into overdrive. Mixing a classic zeuhl sound with an original slant, this features female...

A desperately needed reissue of this stunning, very dark Zeuhl classic. Using the unique instrumentation of female voice, guitar, trombone, piano/ harmonium, bass & drums, this is extremely dark music, influenced by Magma, Univers Zero & beyond that...

This is the second album by this instrumental French fusion quartet with heavy zeuhl influences, none of which is surprising at all when you learn that the drummer and main composer is Daniel Jeand'heur, the fantastic drummer of One Shot. There's a lot...

I have long enjoyed the work of Simon Steensland, a Swede who has released a number of very good albums over the last 15 years or so. He is a multi-instrumentalist and releases heavy, zeuhl/Univers Zero-flavored heavy and dark progressive albums. This...

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 S...

Unit Wail is the long awaited return to music of Franck Fromy, who was the founder and leader of the rightly legendary dark French zeuhl band Shub Niggurath. The sound here is heavy and dark, but also modern; the sound is closer to modern, 00s heavy...

We have exactly three copies available of this extremely limited edition, OFFICIALLY LICENSED, SHM-CD, which is packaged in a lovely mini-lp sleeve!

Univers Zero play fascinating, modern, chamber music-influenced rock. Simultaneously gothic & futuristic, they are somewhat like the very best of Magma or Crimson, but infinitely darker, with helpings of Eastern European folk melodies added. This band ...

"Since the late 70s, Univers Zero composer and drummer Daniel Denis has been pursuing his vision of a chamber music that borrows the energy and production of rock, especially working with stereo extremes, but with a classical ambiance."-John Diliberto/...

Univers Zeros New Music fusion of rock and classical music has been discussed by Focus magazine: while ensembles like the Kronos and Brodsky quartets have filtered into the rock world by way of guest appearances or loosely adapting rock music, Univers...

Over 30 years ago, after 3 years of work and rehearsals, a group of seven unknown Belgian musicians gathered in a small basement studio to record their first album, which they released themselves in a tiny edition of 500 copies. The album was untitled...

Latest release from the mastermind of Magma is pretty much what long-time followers of Vander would expect from a solo album homage to his life-long idol, John Coltrane. There are aspects very reminiscent of Offering, where Christian plays piano and...

"Stella speaks of dreams, children, love, innocence, light... After many years sharing the spotlight with Christian Vander, she steps up and takes center stage. From the very beginning of her performance, she manages to create a double climate...

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

The second one (out of a huge, ongoing number of projects) by THIS project by drummer/bandleader Tatsuya Yoshida. They are a all-improvising group and this features a pretty amazing, modern Japan Rock all-star lineup: Tatsuya Yoshida : drums (Ruins...

We found exactly 8 copies of this long out of print, 1997, solo release by drummer/multi-instrumentalist/composer Tatsuya Yoshida (Koenjihyakkei, Korekyojinn, etc). On this album, he performs on vocals, percussion, drums, guitar, bass, keyboards....
