I thread is for people that want to dedicade it for BZoo and Jas' work.

I've got to admit, I've been into BZ since 1996, and Jas remains, even now, my favorite artist of all time.
Music artist, but also designer for clothes, videos, and his ideas that were futurist. he realeased Spaceman in 1996, but he could have released it NOW, and it wouldn't sound old and "has been".
Anyone feeling the same?

I opened a dedication music page on MySpace for Babylon Zoo, feel free to register there, and add, or simply add :

http://www.myspace.com/zoopavaris

Crossing all the world's fingers for a new album to be out one day.

I think Jas' music still sounds pretty modern. I sent a track to someone the other day (Animal Army) and they liked it and thought it sounded great. I never mentioned to them it was nearly 10 years old!

A lot of other music from even 5 years back sounds pretty dated, but BZoo definitely seems to keep up a timeless feel somehow.

Opening up a myspace group is a great idea! The popularity of that place is bound to bring in some past, and hopefully new, interest for BZoo happy.gif

i always knew jas' music was ahead of its time, and a lot of critics and reviews said the same thing, and i have to agree with it, the world wasn't quite ready for him then, but hopefully they're ready for him now!
and i also agree a lot of the music still sounds fresh, original and not dated whatsoever. whenever i chill on the pc to some music, BZ and even some Mariachi Static is always in there somewhere smile.gif

Absolutely. It was and still is a very unique track, it was really surprising to hear it on the radio back in the day and it would be as surprising now! In my opinion, the whole X-Ray album still sounds great and fresh today, i love how these intense red hot fuzzy glammy grungy guitars and almost industrial-cold rythm patterns mingle. And, oh Mann, what a gift for catchy choruses (Zodiac Sign ! Paris Green ! Caffeine ! Confused Art !...) cool.gif
