RIALZU-S/T. (Ricoridu LM 16) 1978
This is a very rare record. I would admit that most rare records are nothing more than a curiosity. They usually don't live up to their expectations. That is not the case with this album. It is a fantastic blend of Zeuhl and Corsican traditional music. I had listed this record a few days ago, but the winner retracted the bid (after the auction was over) and stated that someone hijacked his account. In turn, ebay deleted the transaction all together and I could not contact the 2nd highest bidder. Oh well... that means that this fantastic LP has a chance to go to another home. I am a very serious music collector and my feedback speaks for itself. Please ask any question that you may have about this item. I am listing a "buy it now" option which was the amount of the last bid by the 2nd highest bidder. The reserve price is less. However, if you really want this album you are gambling waiting to the end. It is up to you. I just want this record to go to someone who really likes it and appreciates it. 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').-Bernard Gueffier
