Perhaps I should have clarified my statements. Unless I'm very much mistaken, nothing on K.A. was released on any of Magma's previous studio albums. I know Vander wrote a lot of K.A. way back when and the band may have played it live for donkey's years for all I know, but it was all new to me. In contrast, because E-R contains large sections which sound extremely familiar to me juxtaposed with stuff I've never heard before makes for a weird listening experience.

I'm going to venture to say that Magma is the only dinosaur band whose 2000 albums are better than their 70's albums. At the very least, they are much more mature and Vander has definitely finally figured out how to actually write a long piece of music.

Sorry I missed this! I'm reading again the reviews and it seems like themes from K.A. were used on tracks released on other compilations and live albums, but only as "quotes", so you're 99% right.
