ART ZOYD - MUSIQUE POUR L'ODYSSEE (1979)

Anyone else miss Prog Blog Wednesdays? I sure do. Since it's Wednesday, and since you can NEVER have too much dark prog/Zeuhl/Satanic chamber music in your iTunes folder, I present today Art Zoyd's Musique pour l'odysee, a three-song epic full of creepy chanting, atonal strings, and more ambient menace than Univers Zero could shake a stick at. And speaking of Univers Zero: This, Art Zoyd's second album, saw the addition of founding Univers Zero member Daniel Denis, whose hypnotic drum patterns lay the framework for a dark and harrowing journey through the underside of 20th century anti-rock chamber music. Joining Zoyd's core members - violinist Gerard Hourbette and bassist Thierry Zaboitzeff - Denis helped the band find a new dimension in their sound, one that would remain present on through to their next release, 1980's Generation sans futur. A word to the wise:

DON'T AVOID THE ZOYD
