Little James I've been listening to this album for years, and it has never gotten old. I play it on uber trips and it never ceases to pique the curiosity of all my passengers, even bachelorette parties. Favorite track: Jack The Ripper.

ROWIAL One of THE genre defining albums of "Chamber (P)Ro(g)ck". Rediscovered this after allmost 40 years. It's by far not that dark and hence colorless as you can read "everywhere". (OK, I created an alternative cover with more colors which helps synesthesists like me a lot.) Follow the fine melodies. They're quite "chamber-ish" I think. I.m.o. less repetitive than on other UZ albums. But also less rock-ish. Sometimes very much delayed 2nd cuts are the deepest ...

about

UZ second album released in 1979. A classic of chamber rock music featuring heavy use of dissonance and dark, brooding and extremely
complex melodies. 2010 remixed version.
This music on this LP might have little to do with rock, and might also be a massive downer, but the quality of the writing and playing is extremely high. Michel Berckmans' solo work on oboe and bassoon work is magnificent, and Patrick Hanappier's string playing (violin and viola) also demonstrates the precision of a trained classical musician,
along with demonic avant-garde scraping and howling on 'Jack the Ripper.' Best of all, Univers Zero never cheapens the effect of the music with any of the stock cartoon licks which are associated with the gothic genre today. Group members sound deadly serious about what they're doing, which might call their sanity into question, but which makes for an incredibly powerful listening experience. In fact, Heresie is a stunning one-of-a-kind item that has never been duplicated by anyone including Univers Zero. (All Music)
