Fulmines Integralis (Rate Your Music - 2002) (2002)

The good things about this album : it IS zeuhl music, not like so many others that are supposed to be, but sound like any other RIO or avant-prog group. Being repetitious, dissonant and doomy isn’t enough to make zeuhl. Musique Noise has captured the essential feeling and there are only few bands next to Magma who have achieced it. The most distinctive is the vocal. Mostly the style of Magma and Eskaton is copied, but in some parts it becomes very operatic.
The not so good thing is that it’s really ambitious, but can’t quite live up to it. Huge amount of ideas, sometimes they turn into surprising inventions, but half of it just makes me think - hmm, yes, it’s strange and interesting, but is it good ?
Overall, strongly recommended to any true zeuhl fan.

One of the quirkiest zeuhl albums. Grazy space jazz rock and speedy aliens. Definitely worth for every who likes Magma etc.
