Strave always had a bit of a jazzy disposition to add to their unique brand of Zeuhl. By 1983 though, the band had moved onto full-on jazz. There's still the rock base, and the Zeuhl component only comes through in the repetition of the rhythm. There's quite a bit of sax soloing throughout. This live recording is not quite up to modern standards, but it's certainly better than an audience recording or something of that nature. A moment in time captured well. This one is on the margins of my personal interest area, but jazz fans with an interest in Zeuhl are encouraged to seek out.
Ownership:
LP: 1983 RBO
I had this on LP 20 years ago and sold it. I had chance to source another one cheap so I tried it again. I'm enjoying it more now, but I could see this finding the sell bin sometime in the future. There is no CD as I update this (6/11/24)
July 2018 update: I did resell it again.
