Are you a Zu fan? I am. I all for the oddness.
Monte Zu is one of my favorite songs.
Does anyone else have a taste for Zu or know of any others that i might not know of?

Yes, and they have been approved to be added to PA.
Maybe you're interested in writing a bio? You'll get full credit, of course.
You do mean the Italian Zu that released Rai Sunawachi Koe Wo Hassu, right?

PM me the bio you write with your name (real or forum name, however you wish) and I'll take care of the rest. (Your name will appear right after the bio).
We can then add their discography.

Great band  I have only heard Rai Sunawachi Koe Wo Hassu, been sometime since I have listened it. Will definately put it on sometime today to refresh the memory. iirc it had a japanese avant-prog feel about it, loved the noisey free-jazz. I was just looking then, they have many more albums than I expected... any recommendations of which album to try next? Looking forward to seeing them on the site

from what i hear How To Raise an Ox is very good but i do enjoy earlier Zu like their first album Bromio. Ah that Zu. Also listen up for Yolk, Dudu Geva, Molehill, le club de chats, and you've probably heard of Captain Beefheart. Good stuff man. -------------

Yolk is approved. All it needs is a bio and that's it. But someone's own words, not copied (and if it is copied than we need a written permission).
