^ Wow, these are all good acts/titles. The ExVitae is damn near even excellent.
I'd love to see the Troisieme Rives, Plat du Jour and Mahjun albums on CD, although I understand how they were recently reissued on limited vinyl.
It's all very, very, very obscure, of course.

Good selection, but will these also be available on CD or vinyl/download only (the new trend) ?
It would be also nice if they could release a 2nd re-issue of some older tittles which are no longer available in their catalog and very expensive on the s/h market. There are many of them I would like to buy but unable to find. (Laurent Thibault, François Bréant, COS Pasiones, to name a few), though I understand this might be not an economically viable option for them.
As I'm generally annoyed when a reissue is not in CD, I'd think it's relatively dumb not to have pressed vinyl of the same reissues, since it sells (and in some cases more units than CDs).
Though I think it may be a little late to jump on that bandwagon, as I've read a couple of articles that vinyl sales' upward curve is more than slowing down - one even suggesting a slight decline.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
Which is actually, come to think of it, a bit exhilarating - as they're exceedingly hard to come by even with specialized online retailers.
I guess most of those buyers aren't contributors here at PE... OMG, there's a world outside?!
What I really regret when it comes to allthings Soleil Zeuhl, is not getting my hands on that Dün vinyl reissue. I saw it at a friend's Place a couple of years back, and that sleeve is just so immensely gorgeous… Not to mention the music itself.

Personally, I would also love to see them reissue OOP titles in their own catalogue, things like the Swiss Welcome or the "Minuit Ville" by Synopsis, in addition to other old French progressive albums that were not released by Musea: Trèfle, Oniris or Ada le Fol.
The debut Welcome - wasn't that one released by Black Rills? Or was that a Musea subsidiary? I've got the CD reissue from ca. 20 years back and it's a hoot of preposterously derivative but fun "symph" with Yes vocal harmonies, dodgy English pronounciation, meaty Hammond, sisy minimoogs and the lot. As good and/or bad as their countrymen Dragonfly and Rumple Stiltzken Comune, the latter also reissued by Black Rills, IINM.
And I've got the Si-Wan of Synopsis' Minuit Ville. Really strange arrangements; there are seldom "core elaborations" to anything they play - these are just blocks of themes and motifs. It's fairly fine, but closer to third-tier stuff like Grime and Orion than, say, that classic second Atoll album which obviously informed it.

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
I met with Tommy Strebel of Welcome on my sole trip to Switzerland in 1992 (also met the guys from Lizard, Blue Motion, and HR Giger but those stories for another time). Its so many years ago that
I don’t remember all the details why we didn’t work it out. I seem to remember that EMI had the rights and availability of mastertapes unknown. He had the rights to the second album but that wasn’t as interesting.
Konny Eisenring of Black Rills worked out a deal with Tommy. Probably a needle drop. Black Rills had nothing to do with Musea.
They did a vinyl edition of Shub Niggurath a couple of years ago
I would love to know how it sounds and if they took the bother of using the master tapes...
