Yes this is my first Magma album, and my initial impression is pretty good. The first song is mindblowing (especially the drumming) and there were some other parts that grabbed me as well. It will take me a few more listens to have a "full" opinion, though. |

It's one of my favorite records, and definitely my favorite from the jazz rock genre.
It's pretty straight-forward jazz rock, nothing way too complex, yet there's some incredible soloing from keyboardist, Jan Hammer from the Mahavashnu Orchestra, and from guitarist, Tommy Bolin future one-time-only Deep Purple guitarist. The drumming is superb, also.
If you're interested you can read my review, it may give you a bit more of details. Personally, I love it and would recommend it to you only if you're looking for some catchy but well-thought instrumental jazz rock tunes with fantastic soloing and lots of groove.

Thanks Pablo... I'll check out your review. By the way, is this album anything like the sample we have on Billy Cobham's artist page (http://www.progarchives.com/mp3.asp?id=4272)? I absolutely loved that song.... |

That sample is similar to Spectrum in the sense of catchiness and being straight-forward. However, that song has a very different sound, it sounds a tad bit 80-ish or at least not as earthy as Spectrum is. Also, the fact that it's dominated by saxes that is another notable difference, Spectrum is a bit more "cooled-down" and dominated by guitar and electric keyboards rather than saxes.
