Who else over here into the strange & wonderful music of Hector Zazou?
This French composer (born in Argelia) makes some of the most interesting music I know. A mix of "music-from-everywhere" with rock, classical, electronic... And the list of guests in his discs is pretty amazing: Lisa Gerrard, Brendan Perry, David Sylvian, Barbara Gogan, Björk, Suzanne Vega, John Cale, Caroline Lavelle, Jon Hassell, among other greats.
Some of my favorite albums:
- Songs from the Cold Seas
- Sahara Blue
- Made on Earth
- Lights in the Dark
