About GESTALT
===there are more than one artist named "Gestalt" ---1) Gestalt was formed in 1982 in Lyon. The group draws from the musical Pantheon where Jim Morrisson and Léo Ferré, Hawkwind and Béla Bartok cross, and the most inventive formations of the moment, like Tuxedomoon or Mechanic. In this asserted eclecticism, it is especially its own way which Gestalt seeks. That of a dark energy rock'n'roll interfered research in the compositions. That of a permanent aesthetic concern in electric services learnedly put in scene, and in particularly neat texts. With a stable formation apart from the changes of beater, the group is very active seven years during. It organizes sometimes its own concerts, in Lyon (with eternal Childhood) or in Marseilles (with Nadja). Re-release of their album "LE SOMMEIL DU SINGE" available from "Ifrastition" Members:Burgundian Jacques: song ///Thierry Cottin: guitar ///Vincent Dubois: keyboards Gilles Pollet: bass ///Philippe Estève: battery//Eric Gallay, Sylvie Chareun: accordion ---2) Gestalt is a spanish band from Madrid existing since 2004. They play heavily Joy Division influenced postpunk with noisy drum machine backgrounds. They are close as well to My Bloody Valentine, Hole or The Cure. Their only tracks available in Last.FM would be Milagro, Samsara and M (The Cure Cover). 1994 is definitely a track by another artist with the same name in a different country. Obviously none of these two are the awesome french cold-wave band known as Gestalt as well in the eighties. --3) Somewhere between MAGMA, KING CRIMSON and UNIVERS ZERO, GESTALT is one of the most adventurous Japanese groups currently in activity. The musicians have all the talent necessary to meet their ambitious musical goals. "Gomorrha vs. Khan", released in 1999, is a concept album contrasting the Orient with the world of the spirit, and displays a taste for controlled musical wildness. Not to be missed ! ---4) Gestalt is also a Belgian band combining influences from ambient, medieval, spoken word, darkwave and gothic. The lyrics are mainly in Dutch. The main protagonist is Bart De Poorter. In earlier work, Arsizoë also played a significant role. Gestalt did three official releases, apart from contributing to numerous compilations. Discography 1.
