NYL-S/T, LP, 1976, FRANCE




Overwhelmingly great hard burning French jazzy prog with a tangible acid overlay thats almost sufficient to give me a contact high. Part of a cadre of amazing Gong influenced units active during this period in France (Plat Du Jour, Crium Delerium, Ma Banlieue Flasque, Le Grand Nebuleux Et Les Laveurs Des Consciences etc), Nyl bested them all and can still, many many listenings later pin me to the fucking wall with it's sheer emotional force. One of the greatest of all the French prog bands!

Note: the link has been removed as this is due for reissue a the beginning of next year.

They actually made it into WFMU's "Beware of the Blog" a long time ago, probably back in Jan. or Feb. But good to know they're mentioned again.

Eric, your contributions are equally important to Jim's. It's magnificent that you're posting 4-5 items per day, on average.

I appreciate this blog so much more than you'll ever know.

Thank you....!!!!!!

They do name a track after a H.P. Lovecraft beastie, which fact alone warrants an immediate download!

Thanks for this Nyl album- very groovy.

Toward the end of track 5 (starting at around 2:15) there's what sounds like a tremendous amt. of digital clipping- is that a rip error or is all that static-y distortion on the original?

Thanks!

you're blog is incredible, bewildering, beguiling, beautiful and bombastic in equal measure, my insatiable ears have been opened to many wonders as a result of these pages, thankyou

if there is a reissue of this album where do you think i would find it? as there seems to be no evidence of it's existance!! i'd very much like to hear it as i have never heard of this band and it looks very interesting, you're help would be much appreciated

keep keeping on, much love
