Daniel Denis of Univers Zero and Art Zoyd has quite an impressive resume as a solo artist. Here is a composition of his which translates into “Beef Heart” (one can guess who he is offering tribute to).
Art-Rock
[Music] Family – Face In The Cloud
Family were a folk-prog band led by singer and guitarist Roger Chapman. This track features a touch of sitar and a gentle, hazy vibe to it.
[Music] Setna – Live: Voir / Ouverture / Conscience
Thanks to Tyler Chovski who posted this rather remarkable ensemble from France. Setna are heavily influenced by Magma and do a great job working in the zeuhl genre.
[Music] Rational Diet – Pukhow
It’s a crying shame that Belarusian Rock-In-Opposition-influenced band Rational Diet is no more. For my taste, they had carried the torch first illumined by bands such as Art Zoyd, Univers Zero and Henry Cow.
[Music] Bosques De Mi Mente – Jardin De Estatuas
Something tranquil, bordering on New Age and ethereal music, from Spain’s Bosques De Mi Mente.
[Music] Robert Fripp – Requiem: Affirming
A beautiful soundscape from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp, from the album Love Cannot Bear: Soundscapes – Live in the USA, available through Amazon.com.
[Music] Parliament – I Call My Baby Pussycat
[Music] Синкопированная Тишина (Syncopated Silence) – Протобаян
To my knowledge, Syncopated Silence doesn’t even have an album available yet, but they’re causing quite a lot of interest in the prog world, especially those who like avant-progressive and zeuhl music.
They have their own website here, but it’s in Russian.
[Music] Happy The Man – Crafty Hands
Peak-era symphonic prog by Happy The Man, a Virginia/Washington DC-based group who once featured keyboardist Kit Watkins, who shines in this album.
[Music] Camel – I Can See Your House From Here
Camel were one of the greatest progressive rock bands of the 1970s, easily ranking with bands like Yes and Genesis. It’s high time they got their fair due.
