Magma - Bourges 1979 : 2 x CDs
SKU
15-SEVENTH AKT V2
Back in print, in remastered and slightly improved form.
This show is taken from the Attahk tour, recorded April 17, 1979. While it is simply a soundboard stereo recording, a lot of work has been done to make it sound as good as possible, and it sounds pretty darn good.
This was a difficult period for Magma; times were changing and the amazing, complex, other-worldly sound they were best known for was falling out of favor. To me, this album is a document of the sound of a band struggling; struggling to keep an audience, struggling to reinvent themselves while retaining their sound, struggling to stay relevant to people who were too willing to write them off.
Some of the old guard remain and there are many new faces as well: .
Klaus Blasquiz, Stella Vander, Maria Popkiewicz, Liza Deluxe-vocals
Andre Herve-Fender Rhodes, synthesizer
Jean-Luc Chevalier-guitar and bass
Michael Herve-bass
Christian Vander-drums and voice
and guest Rene Garber-vocals
The tracks are: Entrée en scène (1:06), Retrovision (16:42), The Last Seven Minutes (10:44), Ürgon Gorgo (12:04), Korusz XXVI, (21:07), Entrée en scène (0:30), Hhai (10:55), Nono (8:14), Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh (28:32)
