Offering "Earth" or Magma "Maahnt"

Offfering's "Earth" off Offering Part 1/ Part II:




Magma's "Maahnt" off Attahk:



I like both very much, but would go with the longer "Ëarth" if I had to choose one; however, the burps in "Maahnt"" are a gas.

like Earth but it's the groove on Maahnt that edged it for me

cool poll

Like both but prefer Earth.

I'm new to these two tracks. While I enjoyed both, I'm probably too much of a Magmahead not to prefer Magma's piece. That's where my vote goes.

To me Magma, like Offering is essentially Vander. It's a Vander vs. Vander battle no matter what he calls the project. I'm a Christian Vander fan and like both projects (as well as various  music he released under his own name).  If I didn't know about Offering and heard Earth, I would assume it was a Magma release.  He did a better version of Ooh, Ooh Baby on the first Offering album, by the way, than on Merci. ;)

I like both of these compositions by Vander, and think Earth would have fit very comfortably on a Magma album (had he offered the Offering albums under the Magma name or had he released it earlier for an 80's Magma release.

I would suggest that more Magma fans do check out Offering. Youtube has quite a few vids.  And some recent Magma music really has the Offering vibe to it.

This is one of my faves off that album:

Maahnt, but I don't love either one.  They're not bad.

have to recheck Offering. I remember listening them early days, but it was too jazzy to me, probably. anyway, I just skipped this band and continued my journey with Magma.

thanks for the clip, it opened my ears!

Offering for me but I can go with both.
