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. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

I see a few votes, but no comments. Votes alone are so boring, well I guess comments such as as mine can be dull too (I'm one
of those who is more likely to comment and neglect to vote than the
other way around). I choose both, by the way. My kids prefer Maahnt -- they adore the burps. They don't like the screaming in Earth. I think I'll do a poll with various fave songs of mine that include screaming one of the days -- Geinoh Yamashirogumi's Osorezan being a particular fave of mine. I made a Zumba compilation for my wife which included Dancing Queen, The Nolan Sisters I'm in the Mood for Dancing, and ELO/ Olivia Newton John's Xanada amongst other fave of her songs to dance to, and I included these two tracks for fun. She was not amused. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Hmm, this is tough. One of my favorite tracks from Attahk vs. my favorite Offering tune I've heard so far...gonna go with Offering, I think. I see now that you can vote "I like both" but that's no fun, so I'll pick Offering and add on "but I also like Maahnt". ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

Two great tracks but i'm picking OFFERING this time.That's probably the most Zeuhl sounding tune on that album and i love it.I also like that OFFERING album better than "Attahk". ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

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. |

in my humble prog world there's nothing that could ever beat Magma ... |

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: ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

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

I like both! I´m currently waiting for Wurdah Ithah to get back from my friend´s place. I brought it with me at a party - and seemed to scare some of the girlies there... That Offering track got me excited, and now I´ve got a record more on my "to get list". AAAAaaarghhh it never stops!

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! |

My problem with Maahnt is the belching and weird processed vocals. -------------
