I have actually found magma at two different shops here. One place was owned by a guy who had been a fan since the '70s. They also occasionally surface in one of the used stores I frequent. As someone said before, iTunes music store might be your best bet. They have several albums available.

People mention iTunes as a good place to buy music but really...isn't the point of buying music that you actually use your money and buy a album with the cover and all? Its that easy to go a bittorrent site and steal the songs anyway...given the choice I always go to a music store. iTunes is cool because it has so much music but do people actually feel like they've bought an album if they've downloaded it off iTunes. (I always love walking out of a music store with a newly purchased prog album and tearing the plastic off of it!)

That is a good point. I do prefer to have the actual CD. However, if your options are limited, sometimes it's the way to go. I got a better price on "Wild Orchids" throught iTunes than I would have at the store. That was also the only place I could find the first Transatlantic album when I was looking for it. I now do a lot more ordering through online stores.

MDK for 15 bucks.

(Thanks, Arsillus!

They are good, wide array of stuff. They also collaborate with Laser's Edge who also has most of the Magma stuff for reasonable price. They have more stuff on the prog metal side, if that floats your boat. I've spent thousands of dollars at both sites. They use the same purchasing and tracking software.
