Univers Zero

I'm also surprised (but impressed) at the appreciation for Heatwave.   Yes, it's a great album. It was actually my introduction into the world of UZ, and now that I know a bit more about their art, I kind of believ that this album anticipates some things that UZ would do in ther current second phase. But... LOOK AT THE COMPETITORS!! It is only predictable that their albums no. 2 and 3 dominate this poll. UZ is a band so consistent in their musical greatness that the losing album can never be defined as diminished or failed.          Kind regards.

Oh yeah, I know, absolutely, but I just seem to remember from older discussions on Univers Zero that a fair number gave Uzed as their favourite album (don't remember  H eatwave getting quite this much appreciation in the past either -- though it has  alower percentage of votes than I did early on in the poll, as I don't think anyone new has voted for Heatwave).  Though i still have a ways to go to complete my UZ discography, the samples I've heard of the last four albums have all been good.  Nicely said, Cesar!  Those two are the best known albums I expect, as well, around these parts.  I know I started with Heresie and got Ceux du Dehors next due to recommendations mostly.

Art Zoyd is fabulous, of course.

 I wonder how people feel Present compares to Univers Zero?  Actually, there was a poll on that long ago.

It's more lively and more song oriented. Still extremely complex though, but it is my favorite from them (of what I've heard).   I second this recommendation! I thought the same thing as you when I got Heresie first. I only began to appreciate it after I got Ceux du Dehors.

Will do then
