CHRISTIAN VANDER: TRISTAN ET ISEULT [AKA: ẀURDAH ÏTAH] (OST)

1974 was the critical hour of many musical outfits, including Magma. This album took quite a while to reveal its potential for me, but it was very rewarding. It shows us the vision of Christian Vander in its most refined version, of true human beings creating music together, of inflicting true emotions of primitive qualities - either aweful or joyous wonder. Simple building blocks create elaborate buildings, these guys could go on forever.

Klaus is both mephisto himself and the most innocent of childs, Janik's bass is unimaginable, when it plays along with the piano it creates the most unique mass of sound, Christian implies his tribal touch on his crispy drums, like a heartbeat, and when Stella sings with Klaus they do so wonderful things, uncomparable singing. Altogether it's a colorful dance of life. In my opinion, one of the best records ever.
