Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving beyond the operatic darkness pioneered by Magma, Eskaton injected the Zeuhl genre with bright, incredibly dense synthesizer textures and driving space-rock energy. Originally released only on cassette, '4 visions' is a furiously technical, rhythmically complex masterpiece of French avant-garde music characterized by soaring dual-female vocals and highly progressive, futuristic arrangements.
