Description

RIALZU- S/T.  Ricoridu LM 16. 1978

I have never seen this record on eBay and I have searched and looked at this site for 8 years. It is a rarity and it is almost impossible to find. It is likey that a rare record is nothing more than a curiosity. The music is usually dissapointing and does not live up to the hipe. Not in this case. This is a fantastic album that is unique in their blend of Corsican and Zeuhl music. This record is definitely worth every penny that I am asking for. The reserve price is what I paid 5 years ago for it. No more or less.  Here is a review by Bernard Gueffier:

"This group, led by the Renne brothers (with Gilles on the guitar) and the McDaniel brothers, recorded this album in a day but it was distributed solely in Corsica. RIALZU merge progressive rock, Zeuhl music and the Corsican culture. On side A, they develop a single theme, beginning with an energetic rhythm, broken by a sequence, which fades out, to be succeeded by the main theme. The vocals sung in Corsican, increase on the former and institute a solemn climate, loaded with emotion and tension. Ample feminine and male choruses relay this sombre chant. Side B is introduced by the blowing, anguishing wind, to which is chained a slow and muffled climbing of choruses impregnated with this fervour, this tender chant of Corsican sadness. The ascension of the theme continues, punctuated by incisive strings of the violin or flights of the guitar before dying with the disappearance of choruses snatched by the wind. Constantly, a sombre lyricism reigns on this disc devoted to legends or poems - a marriage of Corsican culture with rock music. Between Magma, Ottobre and King Crimson. - (Something that the incredibly good "a Discographie du Rock Francais" failed to mention is that RIALZU introduced their album with 'Köhntarkösz')."

Cover is EX+. LP looks VG++, plays EX or better. Strict grading.  I will ship at cost, but on this item I do recommend insurance. Paypal only. Please look at my feedback and you will see that I am a serious collector and music fan. Bid with confidence.
