I'm thinking DUN might take this. Man I'm so tired of listening to live Magma, I mean all weekend! I had "Theatre Du Taur" originally as my final live Magma but I was never convinced even though I talked myself into including it. So yeah the listening started late in the week and continued all weekend. Anyway I also have issues with all the other live Magam I have including the one I included. The one I included has the exact same lineup as Theatre Du Taur but was recorded 6 months later and it's insane some of the stuff on here. Gauthier's synths at times. Oh my! This is a powerful album with upfront guitar and can I just say that Paganotti may have offered up the best solos I've ever heard on that MDK closer. So while I usually go for even records not highs and lows for this list it works because "Opera De Reims" is pure entertainment. Last Zeuhl poll then Krautrock. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Dün. No doubt. Opera De Reims may contain my favorite Theusz Hamtaahk, and there's a lot of great things to say about this release. But I'd much prefer the full 50 minutes on Zund 1 was lost, rather than those last five-ten minutes of MDK. |

Hi, I'm looking for 300 Motels, or even 400 Motels. I hear there is a French Band that is doing it, but I am not sure that it can be mentioned here on PA because it is so far out of touch with the fan thing, it's not funny, and it will get the same reaction that 200 Motels was faced with, and no one that I am aware of has heard the choir doing 200 Motels live in that UCLA show, which was phenomenal and would make a lot of zeuhl, sound pretty cheap and generally speaking a copy! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

^ Maybe create a dedicated topic on that? Dün spicily wormed its way into my heart many years ago. * a Lynch film specifically rather than Herbert's Dune novel reference from me, which many despise but I love. My second choice would be that Magma live. I love "Theusz Hamtaahk".

Another great selection;whew, all are classics. Weidorje would normally be my first choice; but,Dun,Xaal, and Xing Sa make it really hard . I'm going with Xing Sa because the beauty of the songs are wonderfully constructed and each section flows into the next piece. Overall a calming, masterful ,elegantly presented, and stately,too. |

I like your top four man. DUN is at legendary status when you read opinions about Eros around the internet. Magma was one of their influences and they opened for them in 1979. That would have been an amazing show! ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I'm bad for picking out the negatives but your right there's so much about Opera De Reims that gives me those "whoa" moments. And I'm so into the MDK track, and even though it was cut short we still get 42 minutes of insanity. It just sounds different from say the studio album or even Respectiw I, II. There's horns blasting on the former and it sounds like them on the latter and plenty of female vocals on both. Stella is the only lady here and without the horns it just sounds different. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

You and Rodrigo go for Dun and I'm glad to see some Weidorje mentions at least. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I was obsessed with Xing Sa several years ago. I was just mesmerized with the whole thing. Like you said it just flows and there's so much atmosphere and beauty. Reminds me of that Setna album I had on an earlier poll. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Thanks! I'm having a hard time picking one here.  Usually I go for Weidorje but I love that Caillou album that sounds so much like One Shot. And as I mentioned earlier Xing Sa is a special record.------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

A vote for Xing Sa. An album that I love a lot. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |
