Maneuvering within somewhat similar R.I.O. parameters to those heard on the Zypressen album that I recent posted, the work on this Belgian unit's debut album is sublimely lovely chamber rock with a strong whiff of both Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic via the tight as a drum pointillistic/systemic arrangements and the aspect of late model Urban Sax and late model Art Zoyd that's focused around eerily chiming key themes, though with a pronounced counter tendency toward folkloric merriment of a vaguely East Euro stripe thats common to a lot of R.I.O and some fantastic sax work with overtones of ROVA styled hocketing call and response.
Cleo around 1st minute is out of this world! Thank you for such an experience. Viva Zypressen continuation!
ReplyDeleteSecond album "Bull?" is better than this one. BTW, it's Cro Magnon and not Cro-Magnon (which is a Japanese band)
ReplyDeleteCro Magnon – Bull? (1997)
ReplyDeleteCro Magnon & Bub – Brosella Suite (2003)
found on theundercoverman.wordpress.com
I can't find the links to download the actual music for either Cro Magnon release on that blog. Can anyone help?

anonymous-That's because all the content on The Undercover Man Blog was deleted long ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's a ghost ship now with just the text remaining.
Oozlum silently hawks above theundercoverman ghost ship and flies closer and saves two little Cro Magnon boxes that has a signature Bull and Brosella Suite. Available now. Dry and full of chamber absurdia here
ReplyDeleteWhoa, thanks for the new Cro Magnum links, V!.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!. Both for original Zapp album, as well as the two other albums provided in comments.
ReplyDeleteThis band is very weirdly interesting, and very unique
thanx from urkenny
