I heard this album for the first time yesterday and it's already a favorite. My favorite track is either Attente or Ecoute, but it will take a few more listens for me to decide. What about you?

I love every track on this album, but will give a vote to "Eskaton".

If you don't have them already, Eskaton's other albums are good too.

Check this one out off Ardeur:

I'll go with Attente... gotta love that groovy, brooding bass. The whole album is excellent, though.

Oh man, I absolutely love this record, might even be my non-Magma favorite of the Zeuhl genre.

Giving my vote to the track Eskaton, absolutely chilling vocals, and that bass line is freakin' sweet.

I ended up voting the same. It's haunting and atmospheric. It puts you IN the album cover, and for that it gets my vote.

My favourite... Le Cri, the bonus track. But of these four, probably Pitie.

Ah, Le Cri is only the bonus track on some CD issues of the album.  The new reissue on Soleil Zeuhl has 4 bonus tracks, and Le Cri isn't one of them.  It also has alternate cover art, which I'm not too happy about since I love the original.  Ah well, the new art's not bad either.
