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

The first track is a very strange song: Malawëlëkaahm. It's like a horde of vikings and prehistoric men want to destroy something. But all the song changes, mixing the gentleness of the piano and this massive "attahk". At the end of the song there's a strange sound, it's similar to a soundscape. This thing makes the album more dark and heavy.

The difference between this record and the others is that there's so much protagonism in the piano than the other instruments, that's what makes it less aggressive than MDK. There's another thing to something to mention: at the time, Magma was a quartet: Vander, Stella, Klaus Bazquiz and Jannick Top, and it seems as there was 15 people more!

How can they do a 36 minutes-piece without commeting mistakes? if somebody is able to answer me, i will be there to hear him!

One thing more: if you want to get Magma, this is not a good point to start. This album is very experimental and "boring", if it's the first time you hear it. So, listen to Kobaia and keep on progressing Magma's discography to understand this music. One time you open your soul to it, you won't let it!

9/10
