This release is by a Japanese duo that Alain of Soleil Zeuhl discovered. Yoshiyuki plays keyboards/synths/programming and Yoshihiro Yamaji plays guitar and bass. All of the drums are programmed, but they do a very good job of it, and this excellent deb...

Art Zoyd's early and great works have been unavailable for such a long time that it's too easy to forget what a strikingly original and amazing band they were in their prime. One of the original R.I.O bands (they joined in the second wave of bands...

This is the second album - and definitely a big step forward - by this French electric jazz quartet. The band consists of Philippe Berecq-tenor sax, Romain Nassini-piano, Fender Rhodes, Greg Theveniau-electric bass and Daniel Jeand'heur-drums. Note...

"Alain Blesing is a French guitar player, known for having been part of the legendary progressive/zeuhl rock band Eskaton, who are considered to be one of the most gifted disciples of Magma. From the late Seventies, he extended his capacities by...

Like Soft Machine, the band doomed to have a number after their name for each album! Bondage Fruit, led by guitarist Kido Natsuki, who also plays in Bondage Fruit, led by guitarist Kido Natsuki, who also plays in Korekyojinn, were part of the Japanese...

Terrific album from this heavy zeuhl/brutal prog, project, led by bassist James Huggett. This has all the things that made their first album a clear winner with one additional secret weapon: Elaine di Falco, the magnificent singer of Hughscore...

Released by a division of Magma's label, featuring Antoine Paganotti on vocals and with the group singing in an 'imaginary language', you might assume that this sounds like Magma. Well, it doesn't, but it has vocal similarities and ties to Zeuhl music...

Black Oni is the greatly anticipated follow up to the band's extremely well received and popular album Five Suns. For their sixth album, the band continues to mine the same raw ore that they used for Five Suns. Again a trio of Daniel O'Sullivan (Fender...

This 2000 release was the last full-length that Guapo did before Daniel joined on keyboards, giving them a very different sound, and they made Five Suns. A very excellent release and also really completely different from the band that would soon do...

"Sounds like Slayer playing Henry Cow charts"

This title has been out of print for ages but while dealing with the collapse of our former pressing plant, we found one box of these that they didn't tell us that they had. It's available while this...

This reissues in remastered form the very first Koenjihyakkei album, which was originally released in Japan in a limited edition, quickly gained a great reputation and dissapeared from view after a couple of years (we carried it for as long as it was...

This quite rare 1981 release (only 500 made on lp) has rightly gained itself a good reputation for its unusual mixing of Zeuhl and Canterbury elements, as well as Swedish folk! The bass and drums churn in the background, setting up Zeuhl-inspired...

This is $6.00 off the usual price, while they last!
In 1981, when Magma and Vander and company were at one of their lowest points (listen to Bobino 1982 recently?), three of the most famous ex-Magmoids joined forced with Christian to record...

One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. This was the last of the 70's Magma discs, & while it has some great moments, is not the best place to start. [Seventh]

What I said: This period was Magma's nadir, but even so, there is some decent to good stuff on here and a few really good players (Benoit Widemann, Jean-Luc Cheavlier, Dominique Bertram, etc.) all wearing amazing, ridiculous, new wave/sci-fi costumes...

One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. This is a live recording (of reasonably good quality, given the time-period) featuring the 1001o Centigrade band! [Seventh]

This period was probably Magma's nadir, but even so, there is some decent to good stuff on here and a few really good players (Benoit Widemann, Jean-Luc Cheavlier, Dominique Bertram, etc.) all wearing amazing, ridiculous, new wave/sci-fi costumes. The ...

CD single. One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. This 10' long ''single'' is new recordings by the new edition of Magma; amazingly good. Be prepared for some intense listening, as these all feature amazing playing & a truly twi...

One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. Their 1st album, this is baby steps for the band. You can hear their roots in Soft Machine-style jazz/rock and even some traces (good traces too) of influences from 'horn-rock' like Chicago...

If my Kobaian doesn't fail me, the 45' Kohntarkhosz Anteria was written circa 1972/1973, but never officially recorded, although a tiny piece of it appears on Inedits, and other little bits were grabbed and used in various other works (most notably the...

"Not so much a true Magma album as it is a choral interpretation of some old Magma music. With no less than 9 vocalists (lead by Christian and Stella Vander), the choir (about half male, half female) is lightly backed by two pianists/keyboardists...

One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. This is rightly considered a avant/prog classic and features a great lineup of the band (Christian, Stella, Klaus, Bernard Paganotti, Didier Lockwood, Benoit Widemann, Jean-Pol Aseline, Gab...

So...this version of MDK which is released in France only in a lovely "vintage vinyl replica" sleeve has been said to be remastered spectularly. Notice I said "has been said to be". Some folks were talking about this like it was the second coming of...

Until they eventually reappeared in the 1990s, this was the last Magma album. Originally released in 1985 or so, I remember seeing it when it first came out and thinking, "there's something wrong here." Maybe it was the illustration of the hands...
