Ground and Sky review - Eskaton - 4 Visions (795 words)
Eskaton was a band from France who made some zeuhl albums in the late 70s and early 80s, with only this one having seen CD reissue.
Eskaton probably won't be winning any "Most Original Band" awards in the near future, since they are pretty obviously a clone of MDK-era Magma.
Eskaton's compositions are all well-crafted and more than stand on their own.
ESKATON 4 Visions review (154 words)
Rather, ESKATON were influenced by Zeuhl inventors, MAGMA.
For those of you unfamiliar with Magma's sound, their music combined Wagner-esque grandeur with Eastern European rhythms and melodies, Germanic-like chanting (keep in mind that MAGMA sang in a made-up language), and almost ritual-like repetition (slowly building grooves to a frenzy).
ESKATON consisted of a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer, and two female singers.
