Arachnoid has been played on NTS shows including Acid Memories w/ Astral Vibes, with L'Adieu Au Pierrot first played on 16 March 2022.

(Note that the real name is Arachnoïd) ARACHNOÏD is a French major progressive band whose music was combined with the strengths of other French symphonic groups and dark progressive rock that recalled the style of KING CRIMSON. The dark sound, almost like UNIVERS ZERO, is accomplished mostly by employing melodic structures in the vein of KING CRIMSON's "Larks' Tongues In Aspic". The dramatic vocals are similar to that of Christian Decamp from ANGE. ARACHNOÏD's music expresses a continuous tension with flashy guitar's parts and tormented keyboard interventions. ARACHNOID is a unique band with nods to KING CRIMSON, PULSAR, SHYLOCK & PINK FLOYD!

The band lineup consists of Francois Faugieres on organ, Mellotron, Pierre Kuti on acoustic and electric pianos, synths, Bernard Mini on drums, Marc Meryl on lead vocals, tambourine, Philippe Honore on flute, saxophone, and vocals by Yves Javault, Christine Mariey, Martine Rateau and Patrick Woindrich, also on bass, and guitar. Nicolas Popowski also features on guitar and vocals.
