Top, Jannick - Infernal Machina

SKU 15-HM 1009
This title came out a couple of years ago in a limited edition and we somehow managed to get (and blow through) 200 copies. Now it's available again. For how long? I don't know. I do know that if you want this, you should probably get it before it goes away again, even with the high price...

Here is something big that has been quietly brewing in the land of Zeuhl for some time now and was finally released for Jannick's appearance at les Tritonales in Paris. Bassist Jannick, best known for his playing in the 1974 edition of Magma and then co-leading Magma (as VanderTop) in 1976, has finally put together his definitive take on a zeuhl-related solo project. This large-ish ensemble includes Jannick-bass, cello, cellobass, percussion and voices, Natalia Ermlova, Veronika Boulytcheva and Klaus Blasquiz-vocals, Stella Vander, Himiko Paganotti, Antoine Paganotti-backing vocals, James McGaw, François Delfin, Thibault Abrial, Jim Grandcamp-guitars, Damien Schmitt, Christian Vander-drums, Marc Chantereau-percussion, Mathias Lecomte-grand piano and Fabien Colella-keyboards and computer. A single piece with 12 movements, the album starts slowly with a gradually intensifying buildup. The voices have a 'Mystere de voix Bulgares' kinda sound, which they keep, no matter how heavy it all gets. By the time of the 3rd movement, it's pretty heavy and by the time of the 4th movement, Klaus is singing solo over heavy growling bass, grand piano and noise and it's pretty evil. By the time of the 5th movement and onward, it's gotten unbelievably heavy and reminsicent of De Futura turned inside out and...well, do I really have to write more? You want this.
