The studio version? This live performance is quite a bit different. In any case, the version of Theusz Hamtaahk is essential. |

It's an extremely good live rendition of MDK and Theusz Hamtaahk, which is stunning. If you'd rather have something completely different, however, go with Live/Hhai, Kohntarkosz, or Udu Wudu. Edited by MovingPictures07 - September 16 2008 at 22:27 |

Two downloads are all that's needed to get pretty much the best thing ever. |

How's that Magma EP? I have a few extra tracks on eMusic. I have MDK and KA, but I honestly haven't listened to them enough to get a firm opinion. Too much music and not enough time/attention for it all. Ruckus makes everything so much more difficult sometimes. ;-)

Get "Meet the Residents", "Duck Stab/Buster and Glen", "Third Reich n' Roll", "Not Available", or "Eskimo" first. They're better albums.  |

Speaking of the commercial album, have you guys seen the music videos they made for a couple of songs on there? They're great, especially Moisture.

I don't have any Residents albums but I notice The Commercial Album is available in remastered version or something (25th Anniversity Edition is it?), so I may grab it in my next Wayside order.
Frith's on that one, isn't he? |

It's amazing how many memorable and genuinely commercial tunes there are on the Commercial Album. In a sane universe it would have sold more copies than Thriller.

I have that album tattooed to my brain. (Never listen to the Rz whilst jetlagged - it's hypnotic.) |

I'll join in the general chorus of approval for
Le Silo
Pochakaite Malko (but you can skip their debut album)
Rational Diet
Yugen
All excellent bands pushing their respective musical envelopes and keeping the spirit of avant prog alive and kicking like Peter Lorrimer.
As for Ewaz Vader - One Shot, I like all of it but that kind of instrumental fusion can feel like it's dragging on a bit if you're not in the mood. Programme some random Ruins, Fantomas and maybe the Residents Commercial Album and come back to it later.

I have Olive Mess' Gramercy on CD and need to give that a spin.
Rational Diet's first album is great, in my opinion. Le Silo... wow, wonderful band! Features the keyboard player from Angherr Shisspa. Shining are indeed wonderful. I don't know the others yet but some of them I've been meaning to check them out. |

Wow! That's quite a list. Should provide some excellent investigation as well as conversation, thanks. I've heard some tracks by October Equus that sounded very good and James just today (or yesterday
 ) was raving about Shining.

May I suggest a few other recent bands (avant-rock, not necessarily zeuhl) ?
NORMAL LOVE with their eerie and weird math-rock/avant-rock sound and the use of a violin have a very good debut called 2007 which was released in... 2007.
OLIVE MESS have recently released a new album which follows in the path of their wonderful first album called Gramercy.
PANZERPAPPA are a superb band which mixes avant-rock, some zeuhl and Canterbury-ian sound. Their last album is excellent.
POCHAKAITE MALKO try their second album Laya which is a wonderful mix of zeuhl and avant-rock.
RATIONAL DIET though not many like them I feel they are very good with influences from several early 20 century composers. New album on the way.
OCTOBER EQUUS very accomplished Spanish group, influenced by early UZ and others. Their new one is coming out soon.
OREJAS Y LA LENGUA, LAS great Argentinian avant-rock band.
SATANIQUE SAMBA TRIO not satanic and not a trio, eerie and eccentric mix of styles.
SHINING brutal and at times weird rock/jazz
TIGROVA MAST fantastic Croatian avant-rock!!
XHOHX you have to listen to this Belgian house of craziness and horror. Not for the faint of heart and you need to get used to the vocals.
YOLK French avant-rock/zeuhl band. I like them a lot, but I seem to be in a minority.
YUGEN in my opinion one of the best bands to come out from Italy and in general recently. They finished recording a second album and are now mixing it.
ARANIS you have to have to have to get this wonderful chamber music (yet rock spirited) Belgian ensemble albums.
DIE ANARCHISTISCHE ABENDUNTERHALTUNG same ballpark as Aranis, particularly in the first album but got much more experimental and electric in later albums.
DATE COURSE PENTAGON ROYAL GARDEN another Japanese interesting (now defunct) experimental rock/avant-garde
GARGANTUA interesting and still forming their sound Polish group. Worth exploring in my opinion (both albums, which are different in style).

Hmm. Thanks for that input, Assaf. Probably will mark this as a low priority.

Yes, a very laid back, female-vocalization lead (voice, not words), jazzy music. Nothing particularly striking but well done. There's not much of the "typical" zeuhl in there, but there are several elements present in most songs.
