UZ => bassoon
Koenji => no bassoon

Yep!

Another tough call. I voted for UZ, mainly because they have released so much brilliant music over the last 30 years and they're still going strong.

Yeah, it's almost like Koenji is full of people who should be locked up in insane asylums or are addicted to caffeine because the music is so in your face every second. And yes, you are evil. Don't forgot my evil red sock of doom! Chosen entirely randomly...?  Like, out of a hat or something, or just off the top of your head?! What I did was I placed all 32 bands with random placement in a list (whichever came first off the top of my head) and then used a number randomizer to select who would face each other. For example, the first chosen were Mahavishnu and Marillion, so if Mahavishnu was placed in the 15th rank out of those and the randomizer chose 15, then they would be picked. Marillion was then picked out of the 31 remaining bands. I'd simply keep doing that from a smaller and smaller sample size until I eventually was left with two remaining contenders, whom we have yet to see. Turned out pretty well!

It really did!  The randomness fell out very neatly!  Well, you and your red sock of doom (hah, 'Red Sock of Doom' should be the title of your next concept album... ) have done a great job.

Only where music is concerned!   (Well, I can't speak for you, of course... ) That comment made me look a little perverted I guess, but It was mainly based on the the poll result so far (FUN = 4, Hurt = 11).

Perverted...?  Well, I'm sure we're all wonderfully tolerant of alternative lifestyles around here...!

You're quite right though, and now it's FUN = 5, Hurt = 13!

Ok, so call it 'Mood fo Kcos Der' and pretend it means something in Kobaïan.

I'll have to think of that for my next installment. The army of the evil red socks comes to Earth, destroys all of us humans and thereafter sets up an enormous sock empire.

Ha, yeah, they're really gonna stamp on us.

This is almost impossible.

However, I have yet to hear all of Univers Zéro's albums.  I have heard all of Koenjihyakkei's.

I love chamber prog and UZ are top of the pile.
I love zeuhl and Magma are top of the pile.

However, Koenjihyakkei just get the vote... every single album I've heard by them is fantastic and each one sounds different.  Angherr Shisspa is their best though.

Perhaps when I have heard some of Univers Zéro's later albums, my vote will change.
