It looks like the French Zeuhl magazine, Ascension, has finally bitten the dust. An announcement was made today on the Zeuhl and Beyond forum by the editor of Ascension. Below is a reprint of the announcement. It seems that the editor was tired of being insulted and tired of the indifference of certain people.
This is a sad announcement. First Muzik Zeuhl died, then the Zeuhl and Beyond blog (even though it was appropriated from its creator, Tom-Erik Loe), and now Ascension. Supporting Zeuhl music is often a thankless task.
This blog will try to continue as long as there is enough interesting news about Magma and about the bands and musicians who are influenced by Magma.

Après concertation avec mon équipe et mûre réflexion, je ne veux plus être le moteur (à explosions) d'une machine qu'il faut constamment alimenter sans rien en retour. Face à l'indifférence de certains, au mépris et parfois même à l'insulte, j'ai décidé d'arrêter de me battre en vain et de consacrer mon énergie et mon travail (trop souvent mésestimés) à des projets plus personnels et plus constructifs.
ASCENSION, C'EST TERMINÉ, sans reprise possible.

It is really sad that Zeuhl music news sources are decaying. But everything comes and goes in waves, Zeuhl will never die.
