Neom - Arkana Temporis. 2009 France


Neom's debut is a slow burner, built on intense thematic melodic lines while adding guitar, Rhodes electric piano, wordless voice, and of course the all important driving woody bass and percussion. The guitar is a unique dimension for the Zeuhl style, and only on the debut by Eider Stellaire will you hear so much of the instrument in this context. The fact that they can write beautiful melodies within the confines of the martial style of Zeuhl is a testament to Neom's talent.
