Univers Zéro - Uzed (1984)

“Uzed” is the fourth studio album by Belgian avant-prog ensemble Univers Zéro, released in 1984. The record marks a stylistic shift, introducing more synthesizers and electric instruments while retaining the group’s signature dark, chamber-like intensity. The compositions blend 20th-century classical influences with Rock in Opposition aesthetics, creating a tense and atmospheric soundscape. Tracks such as “Présage” and “Émanations” highlight the band’s complex rhythmic structures and dramatic contrasts, while “Célesta (For Chantal)” features an unexpected electric guitar solo, adding a new dimension to their sound.
