One of the few still existing bands that formed part of the legendary
Rock In Opposition movement, which also managed to remain somewhat fresh after all these decades.
Art Zoyd's debut already shows some of the traits characterizing bands like
Magma and
Univers Zéro: dark, gospel-like choruses, with a prominent strings section (mostly heard in
Univers Zéro) and a strong jazz influence. While it's not as noticeable in this album (their first), it shows some of the dark ambient leaning that will later give them relevance within the french scene.
Comparatively speaking,
Univers Zéro and
Art Zoyd share plenty of traits, although the former delved more into avant-prog rock than the latter, which focused mostly on electronic arrangements. As with the other members of the
Rock In Opposition original lineup, it'd be a sin to overlook.
