Magma – Retrospektiw III (1981) (@256)
19 Jan 2010
Thanks to Crimson King for the contribution.
(Review from progarchives.com)
The funky bass, tight drumbeats and crazy chatter on this album are instantly infectious. The jamming then ensues. And jam they do. This is actually a very upbeat affair. The selections are three of their most accessible, played with incredible vigor and joy. The band is very tight (as you would expect), and the vocals pristine. They do get a bit dark at times (it is Magma after all), but it is generally positive, and very soulful.
The first one – “Retrovision” – is a side-long “retrospective-medley” from Attahk-album – with some more-gospel-elements.
The second side of this LP includes just another very good version of “Hhai” – including “superlatives”-needing conversations between Didier Lockwood’s violin and Benoit Widemann’s synthesizer with vocal parts are by Christian Vander. For “encore” we have the pleasure to listen one quite short “ballade-like” tune called “”La” Dawotsin” – including only vocal parts, bass guitar, piano and some “fragile” percussion – only compliments for this beauty!
Line-up:
- Christian Vander / drums, piano on (3), vocals on (2)
- Rene Garber / 1st Lieutenant
- Stella Vander / vocals
- Liza Deluxe / vocals
- Maria Popkiewicz / vocals
- Guy Khalifa / vocals (1,3)
- Didier Lockwood / violin
- Jean Luc Chevalier / guitar (1,2), bass on (3)
- Benoit Widemann / keyboards
- Bernard Paganotti / bass (2,3)
- Jean Pierre Fouquey / Fender piano (1,2)
- Francois Laizeau / percussion (1,2)

Lockwood, Top, Vander, Widemann – Fusion (1981) (@256)
30 Dec 2009
(Review from progweed.net)
All four of these men were members of Magma at one time or another. On this album the four of them got together to indulge their desires to play jazz fusion outside the setting of Magma, and the result is pretty good. This album is not your standard fusion; it actually leans more to a more commercial ’80s style of fusion than the usually more interesting ’70s fusion, but gives it an interesting kick in the pants.
The first track, “GHK Go To Miles” is 24 minutes long and is the weirdest and most Magma-like track on the album. It starts funky with Janick Top’s percussive bass and Christian Vander’s impeccable drumming stopping and starting in some rather unusual rhythms. The track gets more melodic and includes interesting violin and keyboard solos by Didier Lockwood and Benoit Widemann.
“Overdrive” is a nice melodic track that vaguely reminiscent of Xaal’s more melodic moments on their first album. The third track, “767 ZX” teeters perilously on the edge of cheesy smooth jazz before it veers into a fast, swinging theme complete with walking bass lines and jazzy violin and keyboard solos. This is the most overtly jazzy part of the album, and it is quite nice (even for someone who doesn’t like “real” jazz) once it gets going. “Reliefs” is the fourth and last song. It has a heavy, funky riff that is reminiscent of Birds of Fire-era Mahavishnu Orchestra.
This is an unusual album that should appeal to anyone who likes fusion and Magma. It is an interesting study in how these four very left-field musicians approached the already stagnating genre of jazz fusion.
Line-up:
- Didier Lockwood / Violin
- Jannick Top / Bass
- Christian Vander / Drums
- Benoit Widemann / Fender Rhodes, Minimoog, Prophet 5, Kobol
Track List:
01. GHK go to Miles – 23:59
02. Overdrive – 5:00
03. 767 ZX – 6:50
04. Reliefs – 8:12

Magma – Bobino 1981 (Live) (@256)
04 Dec 2009
Thanks to Bilek for the contribution.
(Review from progarchives.com, rateyourmusic.com)
This is an archival recording of an entire concert from 1981. The line-up in this concert consists of ten members with two drummers, two keyboard players (one also singing), two singers and two wind players, with only the bassist and the guitarist not having an alter ego! The sound has more pyrotechnics and jazz-funk, and less Stravinsky and Coltrane-lyricism than Magma’s earlier works.
The set includes the two longer songs from Retrospektiw III (a 13-minute “Hhai” and the 20-minute “Retrovision”), along with several pieces that would later turn up on the mostly commercial Merci album and the 30-minute “Zess” which contains about 3 minutes of ideas repeated over and over.
There are some stunning moments and some quintessential Vander stretches that Magma afficianados will treasure. As well as a lot of otherwise unavailable pieces.
Line-up:
- Christian Vander / drums, vocal
- Stella Vander / vocal
- Lisa Deluxe / vocal
- Benoit Widemann / keyboards
- Guy Khalifa / keyboards
- Dominique Bertram / bass
- Jean-Luc Chevalier / guitar
- Doudou Weiss / drums
- Alain Guillard / Winds, horns
- Yvon Guillard / horns

Magma – Theater Du Taur Concert 1975 Toulouse (Live) (@192)
17 Nov 2009
(Review from progreviews.com)
Theatre du Taur is an official bootleg of Magma recorded in Toulouse on September 24, 1975. This is a companion piece to their Live/Hhai album and another subsequent official boot, Opera de Reims. As it stands, this is a pretty aptly title, as the ‘Taur’ in question is a raging bull in his prime by the name of Christian Vander.
Vander is all the reason you need to justify in picking this one up. Does he muscle his way into the spotlight? Not to detract from the other musicians, who are all in excellent form here, but Vander pretty much is the spotlight on this one, a simply all-encompassing presence throughout these two discs of music that is impossible to ignore. On the one hand, he conveys this sense of being finely attuned to what the other musicians are playing and ready to respond and assimilate, almost to the microsecond. At the same time, he gives the ultimate impression that whatever the hell they are playing is really just incidental and even moreso he is drumming along to the internal score of the music playing away in his head.
Because its set-list duplicates much that is can be found on the obviously much better-sounding Live album, this archival live album tends to fall in the shadow of Opera de Reims in terms of garnering recognition. It’s somewhat a shame, since the performances on this one are arguably more unhinged (one exception being Reims’ “MDK”).
Line-up:
- Klaus Blasquiz / vocals & percussion
- Stella Vander / vocals
- Didier Lockwood / violin
- Gabriel Federow / guitar
- Benoit Widemann / keyboards

Magma – Inedits (Live 1972-75) (@256)
13 Nov 2009
(Review from progarchives.com)
This is an interesting cross section of Magma history, featuring most or all of the definitive zeuhl musicians, sadly slightly marred by murky live recording.
“Opus 3″ sets the standard with its cosmic electric keys and jazzy zeuhl rock variations with Jannick Top doing an extended bass solo, so this is obviously a required recording for maniacal born-again Kobaians. Although these songs were performed between 1972-75, they all remind strongly of the main “Kohntarkosz” theme, what with steady yet subtle rhythm work holding around one chord and those unique funeral jazz moments. It’s been said that Kohntarkosz Anteria was written in 1972 and indeed, memorable snatches of the epic do appear on Inedits.
A definite highlight, “Om Zanka” is flowing piece of 7/8 jazz mood management with Vander soloing against the amazing Benoit Widemann, and neither buries the other. Frustratingly, the quality of the production is most punishing here. Once the duel is over (assumedly called as a draw owing to exhaustion) the traditional Kobaian choirs enter to weave in and out of Lockwood’s violin melodies. It’s stunning and frankly over far too quickly.
If you are under Magma’s spell, don’t disregard Inedits merely because it’s not studio work. Magma fanatics should head here because it’ll help them to come to terms with bootleg quality, and to put names to the songs on the ones they’ve already heard!

Magma – Theusz Hamtaakh – La Trilogie Au Trianon (Live 2001) (@256)
11 Nov 2009
(Review from allmusic)
Magma celebrated their 30th anniversary with two Paris shows, May 13 and 14, 2000. Of course, there was no better way to commemorate the occasion than performances of leader Christian Vander’s most hallowed work, the Theusz Hamtaahk trilogy.
Comprised of the title suite, “Wurdah Itah,” and “Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh” (each movement occupies its own disc), this massive piece details a battle of the planets wherein the people of Earth travel to a planet called Kobaia and back again, all in the name of peace and self-purification.
This live album represents yet another chapter for the vital band. Particularly spectacular are guitarist James MacGaw and bassist Philippe Bussonnet, who join the ranks of the best musicians to ever have played with the group.
From the aggressive opening strains of “Theusz Hamtaahk”, with deft choral phrases and heavily accented percussion, to the episodic, head-spinning cut and chase of the middle movement, to the incredible avant-fusion break in “Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh”, this performance of the trilogy highlights all of the reasons Magma fans are such a devoted lot. Where a more traditional progressive band might emphasize the purely whimsical or capricious, Magma’s best music (as evidenced here) is literally of another world. There are arguably better performances of the individual movements elsewhere, but as a collection, the Trilogie au Trianon is practically indispensable for Magma fans.

Magma – Merci (1984) (@256)
09 Nov 2009
(Review from progarchives.com)
Magma’s glory days were a long way behind them when they recorded this oddity. Vander more or less quit the drum stool for this album, and it took something like 18 months to record in dribs and drabs. It gets off to a shaky start with ‘Call From The Dark’, which sounds like a stab at Zeuhl Euro-Disco. The Linn drums really sound out of place on a Magma album.
Many fans would consider switching off at this point, but the album is worth sticking with. “Otis” is a tribute to the great Otis Redding, which sounds incongruous but actually works remarkably well – Vander always drew on a variety of sources for inspiration, and Redding was as outstanding in his field as Carl Orff or John Coltrane were in theirs. The album is really lifted by a Renee Garber composition, “Eliphas Levi”, which starts and ends with some beautiful flute and is largely built around piano and massed voices. Haunting and beautiful, another side of Vander’s muse which would be explored further in his future band “Offering”.
The cast of thousands, and the absence of any of the core Magma players aside from Christian and Stella Vander, make this seem like more of a solo project than a proper Magma album. Persevere with the 80s production values, though, and there is plenty that is worthwhile on “Merci”.
Line-up:

Magma – Retrospektiw I-II (1981) (@256)
08 Nov 2009
(Review from progreviews.com)
After disbanding for several years, Magma held three concerts in June of 1980 at the Olympia in Paris. This two-disc set is a testament to those concerts, which reunited nearly everybody who appears on Magma’s Live/Hhai album of five years before.
The self-titled movement of the “Theusz Hamtaahk” trilogy had never (at that time) been on any of their recordings until this one. The piece is a wicked repetitive Jaws-like rhythm which cyclically increases and decreases in intensity. At about 12 minutes into the piece, it shifts into a metronome beat pattern overlaid with dreamy, stream-of-thought synths that are very unusual for Magma. This too gradually increases in intensity, until it reaches a powerful plateau of strong male and female choir chanting. The next section starts back at the original hypno-rhythm for a few minutes, and then breaks back into the metronome rhythm, this time with some utterly bizarre sci-fi soundtrack buzzings and whirlings, and a single sustained flying saucer keyboard line. This intensifies again, and then a lighthearted fusion part, then a march with pompous ELP-like keys, and then a pretty lull with fluttering harp sounds and calm chanting. Again there is a repeat of the intense theme, with ominous choir, and the finale, with explosions of weird sound effects.
The second disc features a live version of the MDK album. The first half of it sticks fairly close to the studio version. About midway through the disc there’s a break (I’m guessing it’s where the original vinyl changed sides). When the music returns, we find ourselves in the middle of a monstrous bass solo which leads into a high power, high speed fusion similar to the MDK excerpt on the Live/Hhai album. Some very impressive work here from the bass, keys, guitar, vocals and violin.
Line-up:
- Christian Vander / drums, keyboards, vocals
- Klaus Blasquiz / vocals
- Stella Vander / vocals

Magma – Attahk (1978) (@256)
07 Nov 2009
(Review from progreviews.com)
After Udu Wudu, Magma disbanded for a time, only to reconvene a year later under a slightly different direction than before. While drummer Christian Vander had maintained general leadership of the band since the early 70s, the new phase of Magma could almost be considered a Vander solo project. His interest in funk, R-n-B, gospel, and pop would come to the fore, and similar to many of his progressive rock and jazz fusion peers, he would mold the band’s sound into something closer to “popular”.
The music on this album is brighter than the previous album, emphasizing rhythm, lead vocals, and a fat bass sound over murky group vocals and extended zeuhl suites. Lead vocals, in fact, are handled exclusively by Vander, with usual Magma frontman Klaus Blasquiz vastly underutilized.
“The Last Seven Minutes” is burning zeuhl-funk, with some of Christian Vander’s most explosive drumming on record. Although they weren’t singing about interplanetary war anymore (although it sounds like they’re still in Kobaian), the band never lost its intensity. This is getting closer to hard-edged fusion, a la groups such as Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever, but nothing that features Vander’s idiosyncratic wail is going to sound derivative. Fast, furious, and funky.
“Dondai” is a slow jam, Magma style — if Barry White had sung this, nobody would blink an eye. Actually, this is fairly calm by the group’s standards, and for a while, they actually seem capable of presenting relatively straightforward stuff. Some nicely restrained drum work, soothing piano and backing vocals, and the omnipresent trill of Christian Vander.
Fans of the earlier material tend to criticize this album for its lack of a “traditional” zeuhl sound in favor of a funk/fusion/zeuhl hybrid, and while it is markedly different than the preceding albums, it is one of the most exciting, and is certainly one of the most accessible.
Line-up:
- Christian Vander (Dehrstun) / lead vocals, drums, percussion, Grand piano, Rhodes, Chamberlin
- Guy Delacroix (Urgon) and (Gorgo) / “Earth” bass, “Air” bass
- Klaus Blasquiz / vocals

Magma – Live-Hhai (Kohntark) (1975) (@256)
06 Nov 2009
(Review from progreviews.com)
While a great many bands from the 70s released double-live LPs, very few can claim that their live albums matched the quality of their studio releases, and even fewer can claim that their best album was live. Magma has that right. The eccentric French prog band, led by drummer Christian Vander, thrived in front of an audience, in the moment, when they were free to follow the course of their music without the boundaries set forth by the sides of a record.
The music of this album is actually atypical for what many remember the band: martial, relentless rhythm stomps, operatic howling, bombastic horn races. Here, they expose more fully than on any previous release their jazz-rock backgrounds, and subtle, masterful musicality. The first disc is mainly comprised of one of their great long works, Kohntarkosz. Beginning with the cry, “Hamatai!”, the band launches an epic with many movements, colors, and moods. Perhaps most surprising is their ease with flowing, impressionistic soundscapes. Vander has stated that when artists in the mid-70s (such as Mike Oldfield) began to borrow his ideas, he was forced to come with a new type of music. Kohntarkosz was the fruit if his new labors, and the version on this album is definitive. Great melodic, eclectic prog, with hints of fusion as well.
The second disc is made mainly of shorter tracks, and a section of another Magma epic, Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh. The highlight is the brilliant fusion-romp, “Hhaď.” The track begins with Vander’s own warbly-operatic soliloquy. It explodes into a high-energy 6/8 fireball with great guitar/violin interplay, and vocals by Vander, Stella Vander (his wife), and Klaus Blasquiz. Elsewhere, “Kobah” is actually “Kobaia” (mistitled during the original printing) from the band’s first album. Heard here is a vastly different version; more squirrely, funky, fusionesque than on the first album. The band’s improvisational skills shine on the last two tracks, which come from MDK. Didier Lockwood (only 17 or 18 years old at the time) emerges as perhaps the band’s best solist, while Bernard Paganotti’s bass solo at the beginning of the last track became infamous for its increasingly distorted sound.
Line-up:
- Benoit Widemann / keyboards

Magma – Udu Wudu (1976) (@256)
05 Nov 2007
(Review from progressiveears.com, progreviews.com)
Biting at the heels of its highly praised Magma-Live, the band finds itself trying something very different on Üdü Wüdü for the most part. That first thing being shorter songs with nearly singable melodies. Secondly, synthesizers are introduced into the band’s sonic palette for the first time. The production quality however returns to the dark, murky sound of earlier albums. Vander relinquished some control over the group for this album, only writing about half the music.
The album’s title cut, “Udu Wudu” is the most shocking, mainly for the fact it’s so blasted happy and festive sounding, quite un-Magma-like for certain, but somehow oddly engaging, with it’s Brazilian samba rhythm and huge vocal choruses.
However, the happy-slappy vibe of the title cut is short lived when the band returns to what it does best, spinning tales of life on Kobaia and all its uncertainties, underscored by manic drumming, funky and menacing fuzz bass, lots of horns and those semi-operatic vocal choruses.
“De Futura” is an 18-minute, funky tour-de-force from Jannick Top. This piece practically invents today’s metal-zeuhl scene (a la groups like Happy Family and Ruins) with its crushing bass and heavy, syncopated drums. That is not to say that it’s chaotic or disjunct, but there is definitely a primal aggression at work here that Magma rarely approached. Fierce and fun.
