![]() This is very good when you are normally used withĮnglish or Italian/German it adds variety to your musical diet. Musicianship here is very strong, and the vocals are in French. It a masterpiece of progressive music? Definitely NO. ![]() Will I visit this album frequently? In the same way of Obscura, the answer is NO. This was exactly what I did, in the same way I did and commented in a review of Obscura, from the band It is not my favorite subgenre, but I knew I Well, progressive subgenre Zeuhl is a kind of, how could I say, WEIRD. Now 20 years later, ESKATON remains one of Zeuhl's brightest moments, and their album "4 Visions" (released on CD in 1995 through Sweeden's Ad Perpetuam Memoriam label) is a masterpiece of the entire genre. In 1984 Gilles Rozenberg left the group, and the remaining members recorded their last album "I Care", which was never released. In 1983 after the addition of synthesizers into their arrangements, and a move away from their more traditional Zeuhl sound, ESKATON recorded their last release "Fiction". Personnell changes (Alain Blessing, Eric Guillaume and Xavier de Raymond out, Gilles Rozenberg and MALICORNE's violinist Patrick Lemercier in) resulted in shorter songs, tighter arrangements and their next release, 1980's "Ardeur". In 1974 original members Xavier de Raymond (Fender piano), Gerard Konig (drums), Marc Rosenberg (bass guitar), and Alain Blesing (guitar) are joined by Paule Kleynnaert (vocals), Amara Tahir (vocals), Eris Guillaume (keyboards), and Andre Bernardi (guitar) becoming simply ESKATON.ġ979 saw the release of their first single "Musique Post Atomique", and the recording of their first album "4 Visions" (which would remain unreleased until 1981). In an move towards accessibility they discard the Kobaian lyrics, opting instead for their native French. Founded in Paris, France in 1970 - Disbanded in 1985 - Reformed in 2011įormed in 1970, the ESKATON KOMMANDKESTRA continued the Zeuhl tradition spearheaded by Christian Vander's MAGMA.
