Fail.
 
Zappa was a genius, Vander is a brilliant composer but never crossed so many genres and the music of Magma will always sound too serious for the every-day listen for me.

Vander is a genius as well - not only has he written all of the music, he's also developed a language for the band to use.  Something Uncle Frank never did (to my knowledge).  Plus, as Magma's music is too serious for an every-day listen for you, Frank's doesn't work as an every-day listen for me either anymore.  Plus, Magma's got better bassists and a better drummer.

Not to mention, Klaus mother-f**kin' Blasquiz

I know lots of people already know the  Jade chante Magma cliup with the young girl singing part of KA I -- http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4hh7q_jade-chante-magma_music

But I just came across this, in fact my daughter noticed it when I was looking up Magma videos (young  girl "Otis" karaoke time):



And check this out:
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I liked it, but I wish he had done the whole album.  Wouldn't be as good as the original, but still.

    MAGMA for me.As much as i love Zappa i`m drawn more to that dark heavy rhythm that is ZEUHL.

    Thanks for that video that made my night.Unbelievable!
    Frank was very influential but he didn`t create a genre like MAGMA did.

    I don't really understand how Magma is "emotionally stirring." This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though; not all music has to be.

    IF IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT THE DEATH OF THE PLANET IN A FICTIONAL LANGUAGE, THEN IT'S TOTALLY MAINSTREAM AND WAY TOO COMEDIC FOR ME.

    Kobaian started the same way every "real" language did, you know.  I guess English is a fictional language too. Wink  Frank talks about the real world and its stupidity in a made up language too, so you should probably stop listening to him. Tongue
