For Immediate Release
MAGMA To Release 12-CD Live Set “KÖHNZERT ZÜND BOX SET” Paris, France - You have to see Magma live at least once in your life! For Magma, live performance is essential. Live performance allows – and forgives – no mistakes. You give your all, all at once. You are on a tightrope, with no safety net… It is too late for thought. The body, the hands and the instinct speak first; the fruit of reflection. This planned spontaneity, these raw sounds, this savage energy at concerts make live performance a wonderful experience. Magma has joined up with Jazz Village to celebrate its 45th anniversary with an impressive series of new and classic releases. A series of new and classic Magma titles has been scheduled for release every month from September 2014 to November 2015. A legendary French group if ever there was one, Magma has continued to influence the course of contemporary music since their debut in 1969. Combining the energy of rock and the ecstasy of jazz, as well as numerous classical influences from Béla Bartók to Carl Orff to the Viennese school, brick by brick Magma has built a unique musical monument that is destined to be a worldwide beacon, as long recognized by their large and devoted following. As says Christian Vander, the group’s founder, inspiration and visionary: “Magma had to be created, if not by me, then by someone else”. During this series of releases, lasting over a year, Magma has been on the road, performing numerous concerts in France as well as other countries where they have a strong fan base: Canada, U.K, Germany, Scandinavia, United States, Japan and for the first time, China.

I'm getting this solely for the unreleased material. Though I do wish they would have taken the audio from all the M&Ls DVDs...not just this selection from. |

Retro I-II is pretty much my favorite Magma of all time, but I only have MP3 versions of it. Would love to get a proper CD, but another $100 Magma box set...ah, f it, I'll probably bite the bullet.

the Trianon set is fantastic; we have it all on video. unfortunately visuals and sound are asynchronous in the video we downloaded; you hear the sound before you see the musician play it, which is especially obvious for the drums
