Favourite Magma Studio Album

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. 

I love that song. Also love the album cover with the sunglasses fashioned out of safety pins. 

So, Camel. 

Got it!

I also prefer "Mëkanïk Kommandöh" to "Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kommandöh"; it is in my opinion a better version of the composition.

I went with Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré. It is the only studio album where Hhaï appears, which is the piece that made Magma click for me seeing them live. All of the other parts show up on other albums, but the quality of the recording and contiguous arrangements really make the album an amazing work of art.
