Okay, this is a plea for information on one of my favourite bands of all. They have (as far as I know) only one album, self-titled which I bought second hand, completely randomly, and now cherish. The music this band produced is incredible - such soul in the songs and lyrics, incredible melodies and outstanding musicianship. Very original material and written from the heart. The only other bands I could compare them to would be maybe Pearl Jam (at their best) mixed with a bit of funky Chilli Peppers here and there, but that would not do them justice. This band needs to be heard to be believed!
All I know about Zen is what is written in the CD inlay. They are from Calgary, Canada, they have toured with a whole load of bandsm including Pearl Jam, Bad Religion and Megadeth and they don't reply to mail sent to their Info Address!! I have searched the internet high and low for any mention of the band, the band members' names, and nothing has come up. Not even the name of thier record company, Metanoia Records.
I have never met anyone who has ever heard of them, so if there is any one out there who knows anything about this band, or just has the album too, please get in contact, it would be great to talk!! Peace.
Zen (1993)
A musical mind-blower. It may take you a long time to really get into this album (it took my 2 years!), but it's worth it!
