Hello Everyone

  I have listened to quite a few of the Japenese style recordings and liked them all but sometimes I have the problem of just which catagory they fit into to me alot of these groups don't fit into the "Zeuhl" genre but rather the "RIO" genre sinse that catagory is so diverse,but at the same time one thinks that if they don't fit into any other genre they get grouped into RIO which is ok I guess but very confusing to me.2 groups that I really like are Tipographica & Bondage Fruit they have found a place in my cd player alot lately another one starts with a K and I really don't want to try and spell their name but are also very good.I sorta knew when joining this site that it would be quite an expense,but there are so many groups out there that I have yet to here thats why I guess the reviews come in handy on making a purchasing decision and tips from members.I really do listen to anything that is reccomended by members before a review I think if a person took the time to tell me about a group the least I can do is listen to hear what all the fuss is about.Thanks again for the tips and if you find something special please let me know

 

 Have been listening to Cheer Accident for a couple of weeks now and I really like what I have heard so far. Kayo Dot is new to me so I will check them out soon I hope,I have noticed that they are highly rated here it's just me being overwhelmed with stuff at the moment is why they haven't made it to my must listen to list just yet,if I get a chance this week I will do my best to hear them.

Please check Katra Turana if you love Japanese Zeuhl

 

 Finally able to listen to the video ( still can't get used to that) of Katra Turana I liked the violin alot wish he/she could have soloed a bit more.The the voices at first I thought it was a young woman then it sounded like a guy trying to do a womans voice very confusing to me.I thought the music was ok but also thought that it had nothing to do with Zeuhl but more on a theatre production  RIO side of music sort of like an avant-garde style play,what I really love about that kind of music if you only have a soundtrack you have to try and visualize the play, sometimes that is the only way for me to listen to this kind/style of music.Thanks for the tip

 

  thanks for the video clips they were quite interesting,the last 2 you can really hear a Zappa influence which isn't a bad thing for me.

Glad you enjoyed it! They've got a few albums in that sort of style, the best I think out of those is Babies Shouldn't Smoke, which you can listen to here

Other great albums of theirs IMO are The Why Album, Introducing Lemon, Salad Days and Fear Draws Misfortune, among others. 

I am also into Magma, King Crimson and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

All great music especially King Crimson.

Do you have their album Red? Perhaps their best.

Mahavishnu Birds of Fire is incredible
