Formed in 1974, Belgium-based chamber rock band Univers
Zero initially featured co-composers drummer Daniel Denis
and guitarist Roger Trigaux joined by bassoonist Michel
Berckmans, violinist Marcel Dufrane, bassist Christian
Genet, violinist/violist Patrick Hanappier, and
harmonium/spinet player Emmanuel Nicaise. The avant-prog
group, one of the first Rock in Opposition bands along
with Britain's Henry Cow, Sweden's Samla Mammas Manna,
Italy's Stormy Six, and France's Etron Fou Leloublan,
released its first album, 1313, in 1977. Univers Zero
immediately began their history of personnel changes with
the 1979 follow-up LP Heresie, a relentlessly dark effort
recorded by the quintet formation of Denis, Trigaux,
Berckmans, Hanappier, and bassist Guy Segers, who would
(at least momentarily) replace Genet.
In 1980, Trigaux left to begin a new musical endeavor,
Present. Undaunted, the group continued on, adding
keyboardist/composer Andy Kirk and releasing the landmark
Ceux du Dehors in 1981. Two years later, Univers Zero
issued the Crawling Wind EP (which Cuneiform reissued with
bonus tracks in 2001), having added clarinetist Dirk
Descheemaeker and ù following the departure of Hanappier ù
violinist Alan Ward to the fold. The next year saw the
release of Uzed, which signaled a transition toward more
electronic instrumentation and even a somewhat fusion-
oriented sound. Keyboardist Jean-Luc Plouvier had replaced
Andy Kirk on Uzed, but two years later the Heatwave CD
featured a two-keyboard lineup with both Plouvier and Kirk
as well as the return of Hanappier on violin in place of
Ward, who had departed after only playing on Crawling
Wind. Bassist Christian Genet was also in the Heatwave
lineup, having replaced Guy Segers prior to Uzed.
Univers Zero broke up in 1987 as Denis, by now the group's
driving force, main composer, and undisputed leader,
pursued a solo career, but the band re-formed late in the
following decade, releasing The Hard Quest in 1999 and
Rhythmix in 2002. With continuing support from Cuneiform,
the group released Implosion in 2004 and arguably one of
its strongest efforts in decades, Live, in early 2006. The
latter-day version of Univers Zero has continued the
band's previous habit of featuring ever-changing lineups
surrounding the constant presence of Denis, although
double-reedist Michel Berckmans, a key contributor to the
foreboding and sometimes downright chilling sound of
Univers Zero's early years, can also be heard on all of
the group's CDs from The Hard Quest onward.
