| # | Artist | Song (click to play) | Album | Year | CD label |
| 1 | Ange | Ces gens-la | Le Cimetiere des Arlequins | 1973 | Philips / Mercury |
| This album is just dripping with atmosphere. The guitar playing is reminiscent of Mick Box circa Uriah Heep's _Salisbury_ album. Lots of mellotron and other wonderful keyboards. | |||||
| 2 | Asia Minor | Northern Lights | Between Flesh and Divine | 1980 | Musea |
| The band also includes some members from Turkey. Much of the music is in a Camel, Rousseau mode, but, the excellent guitar work has more of an edge than those. The vocals are somewhat similar to Richard Sinclair. This is a very refind work of impeccable musicianship and interesting compositions. The final song "Dreadful Memories" is extrememly cool and sounds like something that Henry Mancini might have written for a Pink Panther movie. | |||||
| 3 | Weidorje | Elohims voyage | Weidorje | 1978 | Musea |
| This is a "zeuhl school" group, with a couple of ex-Magma members as well as Patrick Gauthier of Heldon. All instrumental, except for a modicum of quiet sympathetic vocalizations. One of the best Zeuhl albums! I am not sure what the album cover is supposed to be, It kind of looks like a flying cosmic toilet. | |||||
| 4 | Pulsar | Strands of the Future (excerpt) | Strands of the Future | 1976 | Musea |
| This song is 22 minutes long, so I started a few minutes into it. SotF is one of the very first cd's that Roy DeRousse loaned to me in my recent re-discovery of prog a couple of years ago. My reaction was "holy *!&#% what other great stuff have I been missing out on?!". The music has a Pink Floyd / Eloy spacy feel to it. | |||||
