Neo Museum

Neo Museum

Neo Museum has been played on NTS in shows including Total Stasis, featured first on 27 April 2018. Songs played include Area, Ethno Music and Kagura.

There are/were at least two acts/projects called Neo Museum:

An electronic minimalist act from Japan, active in the 1980s.

Nouvelles Ethnologique de L'Obscur (NEO) Museum was a continuation of the group Hellebore. After the latter folded, guitarist Antoine Gindt, sax/clarinet player Alain Casari, and drummer Daniel Koskowitz formed this new outfit and released a single album in 1985. Unfortunately, this incarnation did not last either, but were fortunate to at least have a single record of their efforts. The music is influenced by RIO pioneers such as Henry Cow and Etron Fou Leloublan.

As for the album, it is a smorgasbord of maniacal Henry Cow soundscapes bouncing from pillar to post and never letting up with its catchy jazzifications and unintellectual punches of avant-garde saxophone and Frithian guitar. A delirious display of dashing Krimsionesque doodlings is also present on track 2 (Un sidérurgie no.1). Think In the Court of the Crimson King buttressed against some Larks' Tongues in Aspic and Western Culture and you should get a feel of how much of this album sounds. Track 3 (Un sidérurgie no.5) sounds very much like an abandoned Nucleus or Graham Collier track and has a very catchy riff to it. The sax work is impeccable and reminds me of a crazier David Jackson. The bass work is also very interesting and wanders around in the background yet is a vital cog in the motion that is Nouvelles Ethnologique de L'Obscur Museum.
