Magma are arguably best live. which of these is your favorite one? "Retrospektïẁ" originally came out as "I+II" and "III" respectively, but there is a reissue as one album. "Triton Zünd Zëlëkt" actually came out as two different albums. "Triton Zünd Zëlëkt I" and "Triton Zünd Zëlëkt II", but since both are just above the one hour mark each I throw them in as a whole. there are of course more live albums of Magma, but I chose only these. "Alhambra" and "Triton Zünd Zëlëkt" are actually not listed in their discography here, but definitely worth hearing. "Alhambra" features live versions of "Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré" and "Félicité Thösƶ" and a 16 minutes track that appears nowhere else (at least not to my knowledge) called "Sëhntëhndëh". "Triton Zünd Zëlëkt" features (among shorter tracks) live versions of "Rïah Sahïltaahk", "Šlaǧ Tanƶ" and "De Futura"

Magma are probably best as a live experience, as in being in the audience. But when listening at home I still prefer most of their 1970's studio albums. That said I love Retrospektïẁ I & II... or rather the Theusz Hamtaahk version found there as much as anything. Can't vote as I haven't heard any of the three most recent relases in the poll. -------------

Theusz Hamtaahk Trilogie for me, though top 3 are all excellent. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |
