Both album were released 30 years ago... Both are RIO masterpieces from bands which make history in prog rock music so, which one is your favorite? ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |

Love both but have soft spot for Present having spent time with them socially. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

Present, but not by a landslide. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

First vote for Art Zoyd. It's love for AZ, not dislike for Present ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Great matchup here and i'm going to go with Art Zoyd's album which I consider to be a 5 star record versus Present's which I rate at 4 stars. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Tied it up. Zoyd defeats any other RIO artist. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

Maybe, but at the time (1985) Present were not RIO artists (although Trigaux was a member of Univers Zero at the first RIO festival). |

Tough choice. But the poison is on the table   |

Present, Le Poison Qui Rend Fou.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

Present. Same, hardly a landslide. Not to take anything away from anyone but underline the imagination of 2 giants of RIO music. |

| Only heard Present, but that record's incredible. I'll listen to Art Zoyd though |

Indeed  The poison is on the table  As for myself: I could go either way, but seeing as Art Zoyd is falling behind, I'll give them the edge. Great album with lots of interesting electronic infusions (although I slightly prefer Berlin) coupled together with the all-important Zoydness of the compositions. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.
