FRIDAY FUSION
music_ unified theory
This is a cut I’ve loved for a longtime. It’s by Christian Vander’s epic but crazy French Prog outfit ‘Magma’. In true fusion style the track I’m posting is an amalgam of genres mixing jazz, prog & a little bit of choral into something totally unique. In fact Magma even invented their own language which they used to sing in, and Vander himself had a whole back story about a group of people fleeing a doomed Earth to settle on the planet ‘Kobaïa’ that he took inspiration from.
Over the years Magma featured a whole host of talent that went on to do great things (one of my favs being keyboard maestro Benoit Widdemann) and their style became a genre in itself known as ‘Zeuhl’. This isn’t a path I’m particularly interested in exploring, but every know & again you get gems like this. Taken from the ‘74 LP ‘K.A.’ (Note: I’ve clipped the ending cause it goes really pony)
