Which Art Zoyd albums do PE people recommend?
"Le Mariage Du Ciel Et De L'Enfer"
Also the first three albums proper.
I beg of you to heed not the words of the AZ Ninnies; They will try to sell you on the weak sister-ish, "Phase 4".
Most on PE will probably recommend the earlier albums (before Phase IV)
I prefer these:
Phase IV 1982
Les espaces inquiets 1983
Le Mariage Du Ciel Et De L'Enfer 1984
Berlin 1987
Marathonnerre I 1993
Marathonnerre II 1993

Phase IV
Generation San Futur
Musique Pour Le Odyssee
Les Espace Inquiets

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.
I would recommend Phase IV, Musique Pour Le Odyssee, Berlin
Generation sans futur
Les espaces inequiets
Haxan
Those three will give you a good sample from different eras.
The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off
Everything up to 1987.
Hooking in to this Thread. I need some Art Zoyd recommendations too.
I only own Faust, which I think is okay but does not really get my adrenaline going. I see nobody recommends it so I probably have the wrong album.
I think it's a bit important to sort the three main phases of AZ' career apart; their first tenure was very much that of intense "chamber rock" variations, with little except for electric bass and some occasional guitar or keyboard to distinguish it from contemporary composition per sé; their second tenure was a transitional phase starting with the double set Phase IV, where they entered a more distinctly electroacoustic sound with more percussion and pulse, aschewing the more obvious early Zeuhl influx in favour of influence from soundtracks, industrial rock etc. Their third and ongoing phase (i.e. everything post-Berlin) is much more electronically based, but still interesting.

please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
Generation San Futur is my go-to!
