 Topic: Larsen Rupin for RIO/AvantPosted: March 02 2010 at 22:56 |

This Swiss band, a project of drummer Daniel Spahni, seems to be a relatively clear fit for RIO/Avant. So far, they've released 3 albums: A Ban in 1992, Contredanses in 2003 and Procès Verbal in 2007. A few samples are available on their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/larsenrupinmusic and it seems as if all three of the Larsen Rupin albums (along with Spahni's other various projects) can be streamed on his website: http://www.spahni.biz/
Enjoy!  Edited by SaltyJon - March 03 2010 at 13:00 |

Pretty interesting, I didn't like the first two samples on their myspace very much, but I haven't listened to all of them yet. I think I will end up liking this band.

Looks interesting, good work Jon. I'll transmit it to the ZART thread.
I, myself, will listen to it tomorrow; it's late here and I don't want to wake up someone.

I get the feeling the song Contredanse would be more up your alley.

Erreur Systeme is my favorite from their Myspace page. |

Awesome, thanks Gabe. I'm noticing that Contredanse (the song, at least) has some Art Zoyd in it.

That was to Matt, though I feel like you'll like it (and the rest of their stuff hopefully  ) |

Yeah, they sample Art Zoyd in that. Perhaps not very original in using samples, but I like the end result. |

Just listened to it, I think it's a "Yes".
At least it depended on the songs. Some were pretty similar to ÉFL Poumons-era, others like Contredanses were definitely a good fit for here. Some were good, but somewhat repetitive. But I think it's a "Yes". I'll let you know
 What about their other stuff? I see you listened to it.

I've been listening to some albums on his website today, from what I've heard this band is a yes (IMO) and his other bands are a clear no.

Exactly, I like the other groups but they're clearly not PA material. |

Glad you like it. As I said earlier, I was surprised when I noticed the sampling of Art Zoyd in the title track of that one. It worked well, though. |
