A silly question I know but one I have yet to find out an answer too...
But who is the musician in the wheelchair on the cover of Héresie? I believe it is Berckmans (by looking at later photos of him on the UZ website) but he is not in a wheelchair in those. Was he laid up or was it just for photographic purposes? Also, I recommend Korekyokinn. I have heard all of their albums. I need to play them again though as they are a little indistinguishable the first time around... with further listens I am sure they will sink in. As for Ruins, I only have the one album Hyderomastgroningem. I am familiar with their track Guamallpish though. The vocals strangely remind me of Serj Tankian from System of a Down. In a good way though, obviously! |

Yes, those rapacious scallywags from Univers Zero will crack you up every time
 !UZ bassoonist Michel Berckmans actually is an actor and comedian when he's not playing music. I can only imagine his stand up routine - 'The four horsemen of the apocalypse go into a bar...' .

Haha, it would be!  Thanks everyone for the Ruins/Yoshida-related suggestions. I really must get more Koenjihyakkei... Listening to the Ruins snippets on emusic, I wasn't as daunted as I had been previously. Maybe my ear has been sufficiently educated!  When I have more downloads to fritter away, I'll grab some of this stuff for sure.  |

Apparently it's old French for the scythe (as in the grim reaper I suppose). Daniel Denis mentions it in an interview here.

Impossible, as "la" only precedes singular nouns. I dunno what Faulx means though. |

^Isn't Hugh Hopper laid up right now?
I second the previous recommendations of Ruins and in particular Daimonji. |

I must give that another spin sometime soon - excellent album! Apparently there are plans for a follow up, although obviouslyas a trio this time.

The better option would be to get the other 3 Koenji albums.  Ruins is great too, however. |

Tzomborgha is a good place to start, but Vrressto or Pallaschtom are also excellent. Some of their earlier albums are a bit more rough around the edges - Refusal Fossil is a selection of out takes that is probably best left until after you've negotiated some of the better produced albums.
Once you get into Yoshida Tatsuya there's a lot to explore - Korekyojinn and Daimonji being but two other excellent bands.

If you already love Koenjihyakkei there's probably no need to be intimidated by Ruins. Also it's the only Ruins album I have so I couldn't recommend a better starting point. Others here will probably have better advice. |

D'you think I'd like that? Good place to start, Ruins-wise? I adore Koenji's 'Angherr Shisspa', but I'm a bit intimidated by Ruins...  |

Henry, if you like Angherr Shisspa you also might want to grab some Ruins from emusic. Try Tzomborgha.

It makes it more fun.
I can only remember the titles of a few of their tracks! Angherr Shisspa is arguably their best. It is certainly my favourite but all of their albums are great.  |

Thanks. It's Angherr Shisspa. Why can't these people have something that's easier to spell? Edited by Henry Plainview - September 15 2008 at 04:22 |

I don't know where you can find any 30+ second samples, sorry. I'll try and do some searching. And which Koenjihyakkei album are you referring to? I now have all of them on CD, so I'm a happy man. I shall probably get that DVD next from Wayside. |

Do you know where I can hear more than 30 second samples?
I don't know if this is news, but eMusic has Koenjihyakkei 's album, which surprises me. And I guess gives me very little excuse for not having it yet. Edited by Henry Plainview - September 15 2008 at 01:57 |
