A new world of listening for me. Thanks.
Thanks for the upgrade on mutant sounds mp3's, Seffer and Truong , were members of a Magma influenced fusion band Called 'ZAO', roughly similar territory.
Thanks Nick, this album is the shit! Did this group make any other records?
Nick, please, check the ZS-2 archive, because only side A is available. Thanks.
Perception made at least two more albums: "Mestari" (1973) on Le Chant Du Monde and "& Friends" (1972) on A.D.M.I.
"& Friends" has an augmented line-up as the title suggests.
Thanks Sergio, here are the corrected links

What the hell! Killer avant-garde from fantastic members of Zao although Siegfried Kessler have one of the finest albums with Jean-Francois Pauvros "Phenix 14" (you can find in Mutant sounds too) I wish someone could post it in flac with the wonderful artwork complete more bigger than this. Thanks for all your work Nick
Thanks for this improved rip. An interesting period piece. I like french fusion/zheul Magma (in the early/mid seventies) was one of the most impressive bands I ever saw live.
By the way, for those who're insterested in Siegfried Kessler & all, check the Swing String System album I posted a year ago on my blog.

Dunno if the lik's still alive though. Let me know if anyone wants a re-post.
Cheers

also ....for anyone who hasn't heard them
for my money the first two Magma albums (Magma 1970, and 1001%centigrade, 1971)are Avant fusion marvels ,utterly unique,brilliantly challenging ,endearingly corny too, and its often forgotten just how obsessed Christian Vander was with Coltrane..
who's influence is brought to bare in completely unexpected ways , combine that with over the top Wagnerian pomp,a Carl Orff influence and an Oppressively unhinged moodiness, and all the ingredients are in place!
Zao were never quite as interesting!
Thanks!
Re-up please? Thank you.
I believe all three Perception LPs are still available on CD.
I got mine last year.
