François Thollot is a French multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bass, piano, drums) born in 1973 who composes music following (and is influenced by) Magma styled instrumental Zeuhl. The music he creates is, however, a lighter and less dense variant of the genre as portrayed by Magma and say, Eskaton; a fact that will allow his albums to be probably more accessible to newcomers to the genre, but the music does have the nuances and recognizable elements of the genre. His music has also been compared to that of Roger Trigaux's Present. His first album recorded in 2000 is called Ceux d'en face and the second one was recorded in 2002 called Contact, both through the "Soleil Zeuhl" label. In Contact he is joined by musicians Philippe Bussonnet (Magma, One Shot) on bass and Daniel Jeandheur (One Shot, Pienza) on drums. There might not be anything new here, but it's written and performed very well. « hide |
