Attahk (Remastered)

by MAGMA

supported by

Steve Jones Magma on the edge. Grooving at pace. The rhythm section on this album is immense. Jazzy rock that's funking avantgarde.. Favorite track: The Last Seven Minutes.

Jordan Vauvert En 1977, MAGMA décide de souffler sa septième bougie en enregistrant sept titres qui seront regroupés dans Attahk, septième album du groupe. Mais il ne s'agit pas d'une simple page qui se tourne : MAGMA accomplit une renaissance. Jannick Top a quitté le groupe après Üdü Ẁüdü, alors puisqu'il doit y avoir du changement, autant faire ça dans les règles de l'art, aussi Christian Vander incorpore-t-il de nouveaux styles dans sa zeuhl (et là il y en a bien plus que sept). Sensuel, urbain et sublime ! Favorite track: The Last Seven Minutes.

about

After an opening cycle of 7 years marked by magnificent albums and memorable concerts, Christian VANDER tired of having the feeling that he was only playing for a elitist clique of insiders, in effect locking him into a sort of musical ghetto. Thus ATTAHK, recorded at the end of 1977, sees the beginning of an attempt to win a wider audience by taking MAGMA in a new direction. Consisting of seven short titles, ATTAHK, by comparison with the earlier discs, offers a simplified music which is much more accessible. This doubting of the form does not however change in any way the basis of VANDER 's musical concept, nor does it lose even in the slightest degree its power of fascination. Suited as much to the body as the soul, the music radiates a brutal physical energy comparable to rock, and shocks the listener as greatly as KOBAIA (1970). In ATTAHK, VANDER also reveals for the first time his immense vocal ability and succeeds in the tour de force of making his music more open without betraying the spirit of MAGMA for even a moment.

about

MAGMA France

In 1970 an explosive compound of a cavernous bass and a hammering beat erupted from our record players, as an otherworldly voice chanted in a mysterious language. Thus began a first, double album, simply entitled Magma. Its strangeness and creative force meant that Magma’s landmark debut immediately guaranteed them a place in music history. ... more

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
