Connoisseurs of noisy bodily functions of the world unite! And as for the cover art, H.R. Giger rocks. For impatient people, start at about 1:35. Attahk is one of my very favourite albums, and I do love Maahnt. Like with burps generally, not all will have acquired the same taste. |

Emehntehtt-Re is my favorite. Their four day concert of all previous band members participating in the best video set of the band live.

Wurdah and 1001 for me

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Reading this I was reminded of what Rolling Stone Record Guide wrote about them back in 1979: " Christian Vander, a German gypsy who was taught to play drums by Elvin Jones and Chet Baker, and has played with Chick Corea and John Coltraine, had this typically Teutonic concept: a musical ensemble that would embody the Gessamkunstwerk, or music for all mankind, accessible on manifold levels. Magma was the medium. Vander also invented his own language, a sort of universalist Esperanto called Kobayan, an imaginary planet where there's room for revolutionary thought and where "Univeria Zekt," the new man, finds greater energy and meaningfulness. Vander claims this music comes from the deep Polish and Baltic forests, and it undeniably sounds as if it just climbed out from under a rock. He's also into voodoo, exorcism, trance music, German and Russian neoromanticism and classical Greek tragedy. But for all its pretensions, Magma sounds like the worst possible slowed-down clone of Deep Purple or Tangerine Dream undergoing a bout of colitis. Do the locomotion. " Then rated MDK and Udu Wudu with one star each, and Kohntarkosz zero Just thought that was funny Anyways, I love Magma and for me, Kohntarkosz might be their best studio album overall, though it's usually even better live, but MDK, Udu, KA and Emehntehtt-Re are close up to it.

MDK is the best thing Magma has ever done (and probably the greatest piece in the history of Zeuhl, along with the energetic live version of Zëss performed in the 2000s), but I feel it doesn't fully shine in its studio version (even though I consider it a ten). That's why I give the top spot to Ëmëntëhtt-Ré.
