Yog Sothoth ‎– Yog Sothoth (1984, LP, France)

From the land of MAGMA, VORTEX and ART ZOYD, comes YOG SOTHOTH, revisiting classic styled jazz and giving it a darkened treatment baptized in the new music stylisms. YOG SOTHOTH owes inspiration to the above mentioned bands, though giving a lighter, more playful approach to their grim, outwardly treatment of jazz or classical music.
The album opener "Nekrosis", sets the mood in a jazzy Rock In Opposition style that evolves into a playful be-bop to conclude in an early VORTEX gone electronic twist. "Maint Reve Vesperal" that closes the first side is a creepy UNIVERS ZERO turning free jazz hybrid that ends in a calming respite. All second side is taken by the crescendo of "Fou: L' Art Noir" shifting endlessly from MAGMAoid intensity, to jazzy outbursts of pure controlled chaos, then to introspective ART ZOYD influenced progressivisms and all with a unique French sense of humor. A fresh and vital potpourri of eclecticism. MS

Could anyone explain how to download music from this blog? I've tried at least four different cases the download links to UP4Ever, after the wait in free mode, all the time it says on a loop "expired download", no matter how many times I did captcha correctly. It is such a pity, because there is much great and rare music here. Thanks.
