from Oannes *

Ακούμε το ομώνυμο κομμάτι από το άλμπoυμ Heat Wave της σημαντικής Βελγικής avant-prog μπάντας Univers Zero – η μουσική τους οφείλει περισσότερα στη “σύγχρονη” του 20ου αι. παρά στο rock. Η περίοδος, late ‘70s, που ξεκίνησαν τη δισκογραφική τους καριέρα [ως μέλη του “κινήματος” Rock In Opposition] δεν ήταν η καταλληλότερη για καλλιτέχνες του είδους. Ακόμα χειρότερο ήταν το mainstream κλίμα για ένα άλμπουμ όπως το Heat Wave, εν έτει 1986.

✻

We hear the title track from Heat Wave, an album by the significant Belgian avant-prog band Univers Zero – their music is rather 20th century’ s contemporary than rock. The period, late ’70s, during which they started recording [as members of the Rock In Opposition “movement”] was not most suitable for artists of their kind. Even worse was the mainstream scene for an album like Heat Wave, in 1986.

Enjoy!
