I have these 5 studio albums by this extraordinary band. All five are pretty awesome, however I would pick Wurdah Itah as my favourite. |

| These days I would tend to go for 1001 over the others, but they are all splendid. |

A tossup between MDK and Kohntarkosz. In both cases I slightly prefer
the various live versions that have been released, but as studio
creations, I'll give a slight edge to MDK.

| I only have the first 3 titles from this list, so I won't vote - but tough choice between 1001 Centigrades and Kohntarkosz. Had there been the amazingly wonderful debut, that would win for me, hands down. |

MDK and Wurdah Itah both pale in comparison to just about any live version of them, so I voted Kohntarkosz For live performances, Wurdah Itah is consistently my favourite Magma composition |

1001 Degrees Centigrades and Wurdah Itah are my particular faves of these -- really love both, but I choose 1001. Love all these albums.. |

K.A. (Kohntarkosz Anteria)
------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

Köhntarkösz, mainly because it has been my first Magma purchase
------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

My first Magma purchase was the live dbl LP back in 1989 - I perceived it as some sort of Satanic Jazz

They are all absolutely wonderful but maybe MDK a bit more |

| Regarding the magnificent Kohntarkosz, there is a mind-blowing section early on side 2, where keyboardist Gerard Bikialo just goes off, Ratledge-like on his fuzzed-out Yamaha organ - it just smokes for ages. This is just out-bloody-rageous !! |

Wurdah and 1001 awesome. Mdk disappointing ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

It fluctuates between MDK and K.A. I'll vote K.A. ------------- "I like to think oysters transcend national barriers." - Roger Waters |

In a just world, MDK would be in the same pantheon as Dark Side, Close to the Edge, etc. |

Wurdah Itah, although they're all magnificent. I am more likely to listen to live versions of MDK and Kohntarkosz, and I really like the recent reworking of Riaah Sahiltaahk. KA was a splendid comeback, but pales in comparison to Emmenteht-Re. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

| I own two Magma CDs, and oftentimes I've been tempted to throw them out the window. In a word, annoying. |

As usual the best albums are coming last. 1001 and Wurdah are great albums ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |
