I'm glad you've restarted this series. I doubt they'll block this French stuff.

[@ZaragonTrimaximalist]

It's unlikely, but unpredictable. In my upload of a Twitch livestream, they blocked stuff by Martin Circus and Ardo Dombec. However, I suspect that when YT blocks a video due to major red flags, such as LZ or KC songs, the algorithm thinks "while we're here destroying this video, let's block a whole bunch of other stuff in it." I think the reason that 5/6 of my Patto/Trapeze/Free video got blocked was down to just the Free tracks and they blocked the others simply because they were in the same video.

Good to see you back behind the desk, as it were.
Informative review of some obscure French bands.
Always learn a lot from you. Please keep it up. Thanks!

[@ZaragonTrimaximalist]

I'm going to do obscure stuff (mostly outside the English-singing world) on this channel and better-known stuff on another channel.

[@dayleroze3192]

Interesting stuff, as always.

[@progfrogian9226]

Cruciferius has future Magma and Weidorje bassist Bernard Paganotti on bass and vocal (for zeuhl completist ;-) ). Nice to see you back with these music treats Zaragon :-)

[@ZaragonTrimaximalist]

It seems like half the French music scene had Magma tie-ins, including both Zao and Z.O.U.

@@ZaragonTrimaximalist Magma was a school for French musicians just like Zappa or Miles Davis was in America.
