(Review from amazon)

Worth the wait? In a word, yes. Although several segments of the music on this disc have appeared on earlier Magma recordings, it’s great to hear the whole continuous suite in one go, played by the current (2009) incarnation of the band.

The band are tight, the singing is passionate. Probably the biggest difference is the use of acoustic piano for much of the album – if you’ve already heard ‘Hhai’ (now part of ‘Emehntehtt-Re II’) you’ll have heard one of the live versions with Fender Rhodes electric piano – here it has acoustic piano. But that just makes it sound more like other Magma studio recordings.

Parts of the music that may be familiar to you are:
· ‘Emehnteht-Re (extract 1)’ – appeared on Hhai Live (1975)
· ‘Rind-e (Eastern Song)’ – appeared on Attahk (1978).
· ‘Emehnteht-Re (extract 2)’ – appeared on Udu Wudu (1976).
· ‘Hhai’ – appeared on Hhai Live (1975)
· ‘Zombies’ – appeared on Udu Wudu (1976).

But all these previous recordings only cover the first 29 minutes of this 50 minute version – the rest is new to most of us although the band have been playing it live for more than a year. It includes an intense section with complex interlocking vocals, a quieter section with one expressive voice and closes with slow hypnotic chiming.

The recording quality is good with the instruments and vocals clear and well balanced – an improvement on the slightly murky sound of some of Magma’s much older studio recordings. The choral vocal parts are richer than any of the live recordings and the addition of vibraphone here and there gives a new twist to a familiar sound. And it is a familiar sound – Magma doing what they do, and doing it well.
