Don't you know that the song composed by Magma "La Dawotsin" inspired Mike Oldfield for Tubular Bells.Mike was in the same place when Christian Vander was working his songs. Funny isn't it

It's a complete nonsense, Oldfield had been working on Tubular Bells for years before Vander came up with this. Oldfield was in the studio recording the already completed work. Vander has no grounds for his ridiculous claims.

^ What you listening to ?? I have never thought of them 'showing off' - they don't have big hair and think they have big dicks.......(and whatever......) This is literally, truly, against all pre-conceived ideas of how to compose music - well almost......it maybe what sounds they choose, and how to arrange those (unconventional) sounds within a strung-out composition. This whole Zeuhl thing is 'other-worldly' - but then again, that's only because the majority of the Prog-listening populace claim it to be. I think it's bona-fide BRILLIANCE. Many would say not, many do say I'm insane............... I don't care on folks' opinion, about ANYTHING. I wish they would learn to accept they way things are..........

Just listening to them - for the first time. Interesting stuff. Somewhere amidst the showing off is a tune.

Love that video. In the interview Vander says that he tries to reproduce on stage the warmth of the music he plays alone at the piano at home.

^ I do like his contribution to the Univeria Zekt album, I didn't know he had solo work. Ditto for Francis Moze - I missed out on his solo LP that went for 'pocket change' on E-Bay several years back. These things don't grow on trees. I do, however, have the CD ( ) of Laurent Thibault's album, which is very precious to me. I currently feel the need to spin Magma's debut. I'm pretty sure the first verse or two of the first track, Kobaia, is sung in English !! Just a remarkable album, down to the sleigh-bells (!) toward the end - Hoi Hamtai Si'm ri'm Hamtai. Hoi Hamtai Si'm ri'm Hamtai.........

Really a good track, Tom. Try later. Do you know the album of the first Magma's singer: Zabu ? More Jazz than Zeuhl, but not bad.

^ Dang, your links don't show on my iPod - I really should use the PC but other folks in the family claim it most of the day......... The only Zeuhl outside of France I am aware of, is Japanese guys 'Ruins'. I still laugh at my thought of Magma being 'Satanic Jazz' (circa 1989/90, my hazy years....). I spun K.A the other eve, cranked it full-up whilst preparing tea for everyone - the dinner turned out spot-on !! I still prefer E-Re to this - the last part of K.A has the choir lapsing into too much Hallelujah chantings, kind of a downward spiral from what came before it. E-Re is just 'bang-on' from start to finish. I have currently reserved a vinyl copy of Sl*g Tanz with Syn-Phonic, can't wait to wrap my mind's ear around this one. I heard it being described as more 'metal' sounding........with that in mind (Vander and Co. are not exactly youthful anymore) the question I ask now - why are Yes resorting to the safety-net of 'Dad-Prog' ?? I enjoy their latest, Heaven And Earth (3 stars at best), but 'why ?'........

Brazilian Zeuhl, that sounds cool (and exotic !!) Gosta Berlings Saga lapse into some Zeuhl on their Glue Works album - Nordic Zeuhl
