I think you might like Cardiacs, at least I hope so.  Have a listen to this:



There's lots of music at youtube.
Just a fanboy passin' through.

Cardiacs are a band I feel like I should like, but for some reason don't. Their sound (re: his voice) really grates on me after a couple songs.

Magma on the other hand...

I tend to agree with this sentiment, the vocals are a huge turn off for me, I dislike them greatly. I really don't find the music interesting enough to endure those vocals either. The Cardiacs are not a terrible band by any means, but they're not one that I reach for very often at all.

Cardiacs for me. Thumbs Up
I've been listening to them for a year now and they are still going strong.

Here is my favorite of their videos:



As for Magma, I only started listening to them somewhere around the release of Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré so I still have a lot of ground to uncover.

It's a good indication of their early stuff but their later albums (including the much lauded Sing to God) is a very VERY different kettle of fish. This video is a perfect example of their more sober, less frenetic side:



I adore both of these bands and couldn't imagine living without either, but My Loyalty Demands. Cardiacs it is.

Magma. I can understand why people love the Cardiacs so much, but they've never done it for me (even though Guapo axeman Kavus Torabi is in the current touring line up).

Cardiacs without hesitation.

I like Magma, but never was as crazy about them as about Cardiacs.

What I've heard recently ( The debut) I quite like. So you are correct and Cardiacs get my vote.Wink

Not true, he's stated in an interview that the Cardiacs are never touring again (due to Tim's health, I assume). Cry
