Arachnoid (1979)

Arachnoid is a French band from the 70's, who only recorded one album, which is self-titled. The music is a kind of dark sounding progressive rock, which is influenced by King Crimson of the Wetton-era. There is a certain ominousness in the music which can also be heard from newer French bands/artist like Alco Frisbass, JPL, Lazuli, Orion, Pitch or Oiapok.

Music from France

This weekend I am playing a theme: prog rock music from France. Maybe you will notice that there is, surprisingly or not, a specific type of sound which is influenced by world music and which creates a certain atmosphere of ominousness throughout all the French music ranging from Arachnoid of the 70's to recent releases of Lazuli or Jean-Pierre Louveton.
