ALTAÏS

Another obscure one-off Zeuhl act available through the positive side of online streaming. Pretty dark and abstract but retaining the bass-heavy and slightly theme of a lot of 80s Zeuhl. The title track manages to be both groovy and spooky at the same time, mainly with the help of the growly gibberish vocals. I am a little put off by the more upbeat groove around about the 5 minute mark, where the more tuneful vocals seem to be saying something that sounds too much like "Bring Us Seven Sandwich". Its all I can hear now... Sounds less like that as it speeds up to the end of the track.

Track two, promenade, is a complex-timed piano and percussion piece, in a spacey jazz style, while Gravitation Zero is a couple of minutes of chamber choir chanting which fades to nothing.

Would have been interesting to see where they took their sound if they'd stuck around!
