Zeuhl is a style of music created by Christian Vander, founder of the French band Magma, in the early seventies. With the band, Vander fused Jazz, Progressive Rock, and Modern Classical music and constructed a language of his own, called Kobaïan. Greatly ambitious in scope, Zeuhl often uses large ensembles and choirs to create heavily disciplined, majestic music, often incorporating lyrics in Kobaïan.

I've been reading a lot of magma rankings and listening to magma recently so I decided to make a top 5 most underrated albums list
5: Retrospektïw 1-2-3 this album is definitely well liked, but not many people talk about the mdk track which is in my opinion the best magma has made.
4: Ẅurdah Ïtah underrated imo since it has some more unique vocals and quick, forboding piano
3: Kobaïa Magma's first album sounds quite different to the rest of their discography, and for that reason it isn't talked about as much. the title track alone makes me love this album.
2: Kãrtëhl Kãrtêhl is more accesable than most of Magma's discography, but I still have it in my top 5 (controversal, I know) because there's some really fun and unique melodies and ideas thrown in, prrobably the result of getting the rest of the band to have more input into the compositions.
1: Zëss I still don't understand why this album isn't liked more, maybe it's the orchestra and different feel to other albums, or the fact that CV isn't drumming on it, but to me this is easily one of my favorites, I especially love the last 2 tracks.
Feel free to dismantle my selections and show me your 'corrected' version in the comments. The fact is that Zëss is S tier and better than kohntarkosz and attahk.
does anyone know what christian plays on that samba part? it starts at 0:27
https://voca.ro/1fzncl5Vvfvk I'm just curious of this could be referred to as zeuhl?
Inb4 I know it's a rough mix.
I have been asking this question to myself recently while working on my own 'Zeuhl' album, how can we exactly define Zeuhl? Is it a compositional philosophy? Music in Kobaian? A sound?
A lot of people will probably fall more into the latter, but Vander himself has experimented a lot with the concept of Zeuhl, and a lot of Magma works past Attahk have a completely different sound to their past albums and almost any other 'Zeuhl' band, but it is still considered Zeuhl.
I unsticked the new mod here thread since I'm not new anymore. But feel free to share any feedback or requests you have that is related to the subreddit.

Besides Papangu, what bands combine zeuhl and metal?
Please share!
What are the current best Zeuhl bands?
Fistfights With Wolves is a San Diego based prog band that does regular forays into Zeuhl.
The most idiomatic would be Religious Music For Pastafarians (RMFP) off the latest album.

Will they be playing Weidorje during the 2024 Paris Olympics? I think it would be a great idea for them to play Weidorje during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The most upvoted comment will have their song added onto the playlist.
Feel free to comment or correct me if you have any different interpretations. Naturally, this is not a detailed explanation, just a chronological order. I would like to hear your opinion.
Kalisia’s epic concept album Cybion. Sold online as a single track for very cheap, this is one long-ass amazing progressive soundscape that probably shouldn’t be missed. These guys come from France which puts out some of the best progressive/avant garde metal in the world right now and these guys aren’t an exception to this.
