There are no flaws on this album,in fact this is an incredible album filled with Fender Rhodes,organ,chunky bass and fantastic drumming.The three members are from the band SETNA and Wayside Music describes the music here as: "…think SETNA channeling ONE SHOT, but in a more proggy way".There is some guest sax and female vocals along with Chau Gongs which really add some atmosphere to the proceedings. Love the cover art and our own Udi Koomran mastered this gem in Tel Aviv. "Feu" opens quietly with atmosphere as it slowly builds.It kicks in at part 2 with chunky bass,drums and keyboards.Great sound here as they seem to jam.A change before 4 minutes as the keyboards stop and so does the beat as the organ takes over.Part 3 features more organ as bass and drums help out.Again this is fantastic. It settles 2 minutes in with female vocal melodies.Cool section. "Terre" opens with waves of organ that washes in over and over.Amazing. Part 2 is where the beat comes in with male and female vocal melodies.Very Zeuhlish. Electric piano to the fore as the vocals stop.Keyboards are outstanding 6 minutes in.Part 3 features keys and atmosphere.The synths are a nice touch before 2 minutes. "Metal" opens with piano as male then female vocal melodies join in.It picks up before 2 minutes as drums and massive bass lines join in.Part 2 is keys in a melancholic soundscape and what sounds like string bass then mellotron,then it brightens some 3 minutes in with female vocal melodies. "Eau" is keyboard led as bass joins in then drums.Melancholic keyboards also join in.So good.Sounds like mellotron again then organ before the tempo picks up.Female vocals 4 minutes in as it gets fuller with organ.Huge bass 7 minutes in.In fact this guy is just killing it with his bass before 6 1/2 minutes on.Part 2 has a good low end sound to it with keys as it slowly plays out.Mellotron after 2 minutes as it picks up.Now that is for sure mellotron.Synths join in then some nice bass with more mellotron.Freaking amazing. "Bois" opens with gentle keys with gongs in the background.It picks up before a minute.I'm thinking MAGMA here. Part 2 features sax,drums,piano and bass in a more energetic tempo.Organ before 1 1/2 minutes.It's a little avant sounding after 2 minutes until that energetic melody of earlier returns after 4 minutes.Part 3 opens with keys and gongs.Organ floats in.This slowly plays out the rest of the way. It's just a pleasure to listen to some new Zeuhl especially when it's so well done.A must for Zeuhl fans.

Progarchives Review
XING SA - Création de l'Univers (2010)

XING SA:

Xing Sa is an excellent new Zeuhl/fusion band from France, a side project of three members of Setna. The trio plays mostly instrumental music, with the occasional guest vocals by Yannick Duchene Sauvage. This album is, especially for Zeuhl, really smooth. At times I'm reminded of Guapo's album "Five Suns" but much lighter, with warmer production (a job well done by none other than Udi Koomran). All of the members of the band proper are really excellent musicians. The band is keyboard prominent, but A) that isn't a problem as the keyboardist is really superb and B) the drums and bass get plenty of room to shine as well. As mentioned in the band's bio, the keyboardist really channels Benoit Widemann's Moog abilities on occasion. He's got such a great sound, no matter what keys he's playing. The bassist has an excellent fuzzy sound (shouldn't come as a huge surprise as the genre's famous for its fuzzy bass fun). The drumming is jazzy and all over the place. The lack of guitar on the album isn't a bad thing, either. These three do a superb job by themselves (with a little help from their friends, of course). All of the track suites are really well played, I'm partial to the "Feu" tracks and the "Metal" tracks, though the album as a whole is really solid and even.
I would quickly recommend this album to anyone who's interested in either Zeuhl or fusion. As for the Zeuhl end, it's one of the most accessible entry points into the genre I've heard so far, which is a plus. The vocals on the album aren't as "goofy" as with some of the better known bands (really, the vocals are sparse and sort of otherworldly). This is a masterful album, and I think it deserves nothing less than a masterpiece rating of five stars. I can't find any flaws in the album, and I'm really hoping these three plan to release more albums with this band (as opposed to with Setna, whose album I haven't yet checked out).

ZEUHL:
A Progressive Rock Sub-genre

Zeuhl is an adjective in Kobaïan, the language written by Christian Vander, drummer and founder of the French band Magma.

Pronunciation: zEU(h)l, while the EU are like a French E with a slight U, and the (h) is a semi-silent letter which is an integrated part of the EU, totaling in a "syllable and a half".

The word means celestial, although many times it is misunderstood as meaning "celestial music", since the members of Magma describe the genre of their music as Zeuhl. Zeuhl Wortz, though, means Music of the universal might.

The genre is a mixture of musical genres like Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Modernism and Fusion. Common elements: oppressive or discipline-conveying feel, marching themes, throbbing bass, an ethereal piano or Rhodes piano, and brass instruments.

Zeuhl (произносится "зюль") — поджанр арт-рока, появившийся в конце 60-х. Основателем этого жанра стала французская группа Magma, выпустившая первый альбом Kobaia в 1970 г. Кроме нового жанра группа создала новую мифологию, на которой и основывается Zeuhl. Kobaia - это некая планета, на которой в будущем люди попытаются построить новую цивилизацию, когда старая будет умирать в хаосе. Тексты Magma так же были на кобайском языке. Музыка представляла собой синтез классического прогрессива и джаза - Вандер был вдохновлён творчеством таких людей, как джазмен Джон Колтрейн, и известный композитор XIX века Рихард Вагнер. После первого альбома музыка становилась всё более необычной и закрученной, и была интересна для всех любителей арт-рока, даже его авангардных форм. Наибольшего расцвета группа достигла на период альбомов Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandöh (1973) и Köhntarkösz (1974). Музыканты в составе Magma менялись достаточно часто, что, однако, не вредило музыке. После Magma появилось много последователей, вдохновлённых основателями жанра.
