Just got a notification in the mail today:

Front cover has Gary Numan, featuring interviews with Jeff Wayne, but also Jean-Michel Jarre. I don't know how much coverage he will have, but I thought it was worth noting.

Brilliant cover art.

I always felt Rendezvous album art or similar from Michel Granger should been on Zoolook.

Fun track standard for its time no where near as inventive as anything on Zoolook.

There's no album I've heard nor any Electronic music I've heard since 1930s to now that's as inventive as Zoolook.
Also the styles Classical, Jazz, Funk, Rock, Ambient, Dance, Avant Garde in Zoolook.
