MERCI

People generally tend to like Magma, firts, for their darkness and complexity. But, we, Magma fanboys, tend to appreciate the transcendence (if I can call it) even in their popiest moments. I know its a contradiction. But they made it! A hipnotic and uplifiting album, that starts with a song called "Call from the Dark (Ooh Ooh Baby)" - so I dont have to say nothing more. Just listening the album with that perspective and you wont listen it as proghead, but as a person with the feeling of transcendence. Magma can let you fly above! So lets dance, ALSO, with Magma!

Its not necessary mention that the suite Otis is a masterpiece of vocal jazz and a superb homage to the great Otis Reding. If this album, as in the general rating its not a Prog essential album, please give it a chance as a great orquestral jazz album. Five stars. And I keep feeling inside me the bass compass tha starts Otis... bHUMMMM Otis!
