I haven't updated this blog in a while, as I have been taking a break from listening to Magma. I am poking my head out of the sand to give you a few pieces of news.
First, I will be at the Soleil Zeuhl Festival on September 18. I am so excited about this festival, created by the hardest working man in the world of Zeuhl, Alain Lebon. 4 great bands and good vibes. We tend to organize various Zeuhl Meals, so if you are going to be in Paris for this festival and care to share a meal with fellow loonies, let me know.
Second, I have been trying to get my fix of Zeuhl without having to think about Christian Vander.
I have been listening a lot to Vox Nostra, and band led by Pierre Minvielle, with Jean-Claude Delachat (formerly of Eider Stellaire) on guitar. They sing totally in Latin, but the compositions evoke classic Magma. Check them out here:

I recommend the song Doloris Puer to start with.
The Vox Nostra Facebook page is here:

Also, a great version of De Futura, arranged for an ensemble of cellos:

ReplyDeletedear friend magma comes for a tour in USA in 2015
ReplyDeleteWill this blog be updated ever again?
ReplyDeleteHi MDK,
ReplyDeleteI am really not listening to Magma anymore, but I will update the blog if some amazing news (or tapes) surfaces about the classic Magma period from 1972-74.
"I am really not listening to Magma anymore" Why so?
ReplyDeleteIt's a long and complicated thing ... go back to some of the posts (and comments( that were written aroudn November 2009 for more info.
ReplyDeleteMarc, I was wondering... can I somehow talk with you outside this blog? (e mail, FB etc?). Regards.
ReplyDeleteI am on the various Magma forums on FB. Feel free to reach out.
ReplyDeleteCan You link any of this groups? I tried to join a few some time ago, but my membership request were "pending" forever. Maybe i just have found wrong groups:P
