FICTION

The repetition of Zeuhl meets 80s King Crimson electronics and synths. While FX is nothing to write home about, the following tracks on the CD release Les Deux Trucs and Automute pretty much blew me away with a wall of synth and Marc Rozenberg's deep vocals. Unlike anything I've heard from Eskaton previously, and from anything filed under Zeuhl for that matter. Simplicius is also a good track, a little more chilled out but with catchy humming vocals from the two ladies. Le Dance de Feux is a very jazzy track but mixed in with the usual Zeuhl vocals, and is a lot more like previous Eskaton albums. La Mort de Tristan switches things up again, for the most part a minimalist ambient/post-rock style atmospheric track mixed in with some sharp electronic noise. In Le Cinema, things return to the catchy and deadpan vocals from the likes of Automute, and a lot of 80s electronic sounds. Another really good catchy track. Plus Et Moins is incredibly funky before finishing on Parenthese, a short calm synth track. Some great stuff here.
