Magma - 1.001 Degrees Centigrade

Another great fuckin' Magma album (their second), more in the jazz-rock vein of Nucleus or Soft Machine, but with the Magmaesque signature already in place.

Get It

Magma - Live 1975 Paris

Perhaps their best live album (and they have plenty), this behemoth has a 31 minute version of "Kohntark" that leaves pretenders in the dust with its unyielding complexity and ferocity.

Zeuhl it

Magma - Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh

They invented their own language. They created an impossibly complex opera across six or seven albums that entailed the destruction of Earth an its impending salvation by a race of benevolent, highly advanced extra terrestrials. They married the emotion and power of Love Supreme with the grandiosity of Stravinsky and Orff and the technique of Mahavishnu. They all dressed equally and wore a huge fucking necklace with their logo. They had a whole genre named after one of their songs. They were demented. They were Magma. Kobaia is de hundin!!

Get it
