great thread. Like always learning great new things - Thanks all for the info, learned about several new bands. My list would include many of those you already mentioned and some others: ALPES & CATHERINE RIBEIRO*, ALPHA CENTAURY, AME SON, ANGE, ANOXIE (not that good, but if this thread has become inclusive then why not mention them?), APHÉLANDRA, ARACHNOÏD, ARCHAÏA (again, I don't particularly like them, but I know several who regard this highly)., ART ZOYD, ARTCANE, ASIA MINOR (their first was in 79, no?), ATOLL, BESOMBES, PHILIPPE, CARPE DIEM, CATHARSIS (really nice psych act), CHÊNE NOIR (I added them recently, still active today), CLEARLIGHT, DÜN (nevermind the album release date, they were active in the 70's), EDITION SPÉCIALE, ESKATON (again the first one is from the late 70's), ETRON FOU LELOUBLAN, FLAMEN DIALIS (not too amazing, but still worth a mention), HELDON, HORDE CATALYTIQUE POUR LA FIN (again, not something I am too keen of), HONEYELK, KOMINTERN (I recently added them and wrote a review, love those guys), LARD FREE, MARKUSFELD, ALAIN (know him thanks to Dallas), MEMORIANCE (suggested them to the symphonic team, very nice two albums), METABOLISME (not a terribly impressive album, but good nonetheless)., MONA LISA, MOSAÏC (another addition, like them quite a lot), MOVING GELATINE PLATES (thanks to Alucard for this one), PATAPHONIE (another addition, thanks to Yuko for this one), PINHAS, RICHARD, PONTY, JEAN-LUC , POTEMKINE (love the reissues with all their output). PULSAR (for some reason I like them less than other people), RAHMANN (thanks to Rocktopus), RIPAILLE (it's a very nice record, but I don't agree with some glaring reviews of this I read), SANDROSE (Micky loves this one as well), SHYLOCK, PACECRAFT, TRAVELLING  (this is lovely music), TRIODE (another one being always mentioned as benig derivative, but I like it nonethelss), VERTO (pretty weird, but still a nice "ride"), VORTEX (what a great release is their two albums in one case), WAPASSOU (thanks to Hugues for this one), ZAO (oh and Magma...) As for other non-PA bands: Nemo (the 70's one), Crium Delirium, Red Noise, Camizole, Barricade, and maybe Urban Sax, Ma Banlieue Flasque (thanks to Martin), Mahogany Brain, Maajun/Mahjun, Speed Limit (super group), Ometaxalia et Bucchi, Oniris, Troisieme Rive (nice folky/rock tunes),  Ocarinah, Semool (although, this is a very diversive album, some see it as a masterpiece/ahead of its time while others as a joke), Booz, Francois Breant, Kha Ym (thanks to Rocktopus), Cohen-Solal, Clivage and there are probably more... For French speaking people, this site is quite nice and informative - http://neospheres.free.fr/rockfr/index.htm So, DB, now that you see others mentioning the same bands that I talk about and want to add, would you mind telling us which Meaningless bands I am flooding PA with?
