Just picked up Patrick Gauthier - Bebe Godzilla today, not sure it's Zeuhl but it's a hell of an album, as a side note it sent me off exploring Heldon, man here's a band I needed to discover 20 years ago.

Gordon Haskell - "You've got to keep the groove in your head and play a load of bollocks instead"
I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
2 albums by Heldon are essential for any Prog fans collection
Stand By
Interface
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

Ian, Heldon is an absolute must. Many will have their favorites (Stand By for me), but you really can't go wrong with any of their albums. And Pinhas' solo Chronolyse is just as good. So there are eight albums to add to your list
An obscure one that doesn't hit the same heights, but has Pinhas all over it is Ose - Adonia. A cool album, but one for down the road.

I was enticed to buy Masal based on the recommendations in this thread, but I admit I was a bit disappointed. Too tame to my tastes. I'm not a particular fan of the production values either.
With regard to Heldon, incidentally the ones I own are Stand By and Interface, which are fabulous. Chronolyse by Pinhas is also very, very good, nearly brain melting. My favorite record with Pinhas, actually.

For those of you who like Heldon, do check this one out: http://www.discogs.com/Georges-Gr%C3...release/959511
We're getting more in electronic territory than Zeuhl though.

I'm glad a recommendation of mine worked out!

Check this one (George JINDA sole album, with Y. Seffer and Didier Batard from HELDON on bass), imo track 1 is killer :

The rest isn't bad either but less zeuhl-ish...

That's a good track!
