Uzedis the fourth album by Belgian band Univers Zero. It was released threeyears after 'Ceux du Dehors', due to a change in line-up and a newrepertoire, although the EP 'Crawling Wind' had been released in themeantime.The album marked a turning point for the band. Univers Zero explorednew electric colors, giving it a more rock feel with the addition of newmusicians such as Jean-Luc Plouvier, who introduced the synthesizer,guitarist Michel Delory, who played a memorable solo in 'Célesta (ForChantal)', and André Mergen on electric cello and alto saxophone,who enriched the orchestral texture. Dirk Descheemaeker on clarinetand soprano saxophone, the return of Christian Genet on bass, thisevolution can also be explained by the arrival of new musicians.UZED'is entirely composed and arranged by Daniel Denis.The recording and mixing were done at Daylight Studio in Brusselsin 1984, but to bring out UZED, the sound had to be improved by givingit more dynamic range, which was done at ICP Studios in 2024.

It was established in 1974. Drummer Daniel Denishad the brilliant idea to gather together a team of professionalssharing the same taste for music. The band has adopted an instrumental progressive style. Over the last couple of decades,the band has also implemented a series of influences fromchamber music - most commonly, chamber music from the20th century. Even if the line-up changes a lot over the years,the overall sound of UZ remained fairly consistent.
