About Trilogy
Prog legends Magma under the leadership of their classically trained drummer Christian Vander conjured up a truly cosmic vision of the universe, inventing its own language and mythology and with music combining elements of jazz, R&B, heavy rock and psychedelia . This 3CD set brings together 2 classic Magma albums, Attahk and Udü Wüdü, along with a vintage live performance. Udü Wüdü was recorded in 1976 in Paris at the peak of Magma's popularity, the album's undoubted highlight is the 17-minute epic 'De Futura', described by Vander himself as a magical and enchanting voyage through time. Released in 1978, Attahk is one of Magma's most popular, vibrant and accessible albums which marked a new phase in the group's musical journey. Placing more emphasis than before on rhythm, rumbling bass lines and lead vocals, all driven along by the inspired drumming of leader Christian Vander, this new sound is reminiscent at times of those two other popular and intense fusion groups of the time, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return To Forever. Magma Live was originally released as a double album, recorded at one of the band's spectacular live shows in Paris in 1975. The set includes the awesome 32- minute epic 'Köhntark.'
