5 stars A majestic return to form from a legendary 70s band! K.A. finds Magma at its prime once again with its complex time signatures and impressive vocal work. The unexplicable lyrics only add up to the mysterious aura that this band has always posessed, and the tracks of colossal proportions only add upp to the technicality and experimentation the band is capable of.

K.A. I is my favorite from the album and also the least experimental. It sets up the recurring themes of the album in an overture-way, and features the most impressive vocal work from the album. K.A. II is in the middle point between solid or technical (K.A. I) and experimental (K.A. III). It is my least favorite track from the album but I must say it's still one of the best songs of Magma. It reprises previous themes and brings up new ones. K.A. III is the most experimental one, it features an amazing keyboard solo accompanied with some truly incredible drums. This instrumental section lasts pretty long and during the beginning of the song. After it, the song continues playing the recurring themes from previous songs while also bringing a proper ending to the album.

One of their best records for sure! Very few 70s prog rock bands have been capable of making a comeback as good as Magma's K.A. It's five stars for me!
