A brand new SOLEIL ZEUHL CD is now currently available : 

              Francois THOLLOT : Ceux d'en face (SZ 07). 

François THOLLOT is a talented French multi-instrumentist ( guitar, bass, drums and piano ) deeply influenced by the Zeuhl school, especially by PRESENT in its recent incarnation. 
“Ceux d’en face” is his first release, recorded in 2000. The music is dark and tormented, propelled by heavy and throbbing basslines, in the Zeuhl tradition we enjoy ! The piano gives both the melody and the rhythm. Francois’ guitar ( his primarly instrument ) is on the top, dark, menacing….. 
All tracks are very composed and played with passion. A total of  7 tracks ( 47 minutes ), all instrumental. 

The translation of the title "Ceux d'en face" is " those in front". It's a glimpse towards Univers Zero as "Ceux du dehors" means "those from outside" and also to Present as the longest track of No. 6 is called "Ceux d'en bas" which means "those from from underneath". This release is recommended to fans of PRESENT, UNIVERS ZERO, early Peter FROHMADER, Simon STEENLAND - minus all electronics - and in general to all Zeuhl fans. 

SOLEIL ZEUHL next projects : 

In June, the second F. THOLLOT cd will be recorded with a full band featuring Philippe BUSSSONNET (Magma, One Shot) on bass and Daniel JEANDHEUR ( One Shot ) on drums. Issue date on SZ planned around October 2002. 

The 3rd ONE SHOT cd should also be available around October, possibly on SZ or on UTOPIC. 

We also hope being able to finally reissue the ESKATONs somewhere around fall, or possibly early 2003. 

Well, for now, we hope you'll enjoy the new SZ release! Ask for it to your favourite prog. retailer and if you have some trouble for locating a copy, just drop us a mail. 

Thank you for your support !
