Magma "The last seven minutes"

[DealeuseDeDonuts]

Vander , digne héritier du touché d'elvin Jones et de la musique de Coltrane . "On n'as dit que Magma n'étais pas " : 1969 - 2012 .... la musique Zeuhl à encore de beau jours devant elle.

[3rdeye15]

when was this recorded???

[RunawayAileron]

A man is a man with all his brain and creativity, before being a french or british or spanish, etc

[merzpix]

i love all the myth & legend dvds play them over and over again ;)

[snuntlecopter]

Vander is incredible, marshalling his troops from behind his kit and seemingly eyeballing other band members threateningly lest they should make an error. Gets the best out of a small 'meat and potatoes' kit. When I saw them at the Royal Festival Hall in London just before the Millenium the TV series "League of Gentlemen" was making waves. Vander reminded me of one of the characters - boggle-eyed East European newsagent nutter 'Pop'.

[Anirml]

What a Drummer! =)

[Feloniona]

se me pego esta canción :$

[hyperprogressive]

great, but i don't like the keyboard solo so much

[TheRamExponention]

Du GENIE TOTAL !!!

[slledge]

Thanks for the post, but why cut the end? Anyone has the full version?

[2KRAMUS2]

@slledge Yes ! It's available on the DVD Mythes & Légendes vol.3 ;)



[2KRAMUS2]

@slledge

try the official site of seventhrecords

[Azerlylo]

@slledge Il faut voir la vidéo : magma "last seven minutes" only drums view

[diztill]

Putain!!! j ' y étais mais c'est toujours aussi beau.

Antoine reviens! Bravo Christian.

[MrKmack]

What year and what gig was this?Nice to see James playing bass too.Attahk always brings up those warm and fuzz bass-I mean fuzzy memories

[lorenzobrown]

Vander's like a crazy demon on drums! It's great stuff!

[DJHLimtz]

J'ai répété avec MAGMA en 1975 ou 76(...), Christian Vander m'avait auditionné et accepté, puis différents incidents et problèmes personnels ont fait qu'aprés une semaine de travail et bien qu'ayant assimilé une bonne partie du répertoire, j'ai démissionné...

Ce sera peut-etre l'un des principaux regrets de ma vie d'artiste,j'espère que si cela se reproduit dans une autre vie je ne ferai pas la même erreur...

Bravo à Christian pour sa tenacité et créativité!

[jesuscomplex]

where is the p[art immediately afeter this i need to hear the rest of that motif they start to go into??????

[lesjacquets]

Ah, ils sont vraiment comme ces grands vins du bordelais, plus ils .... plus ils sont bons. J'ai toujours aimé et j'aime de plus en plus.

[pitufanegra]

the last 5 idiots

[Papahitas]

Amazing version. Absolute Borghi show in the end. I don't think Magma ever had a better line-up. Too bad A and H Paganotti left the band since then.

[williamgeorgefraser]

surprised to find that 5 people discovered this by mistake and watched it long enough to give a negative opinion. Magma you either hate or love. I LOVE!!!

[thatmuse76]

This was the track that introduced me to this band and believe it or not I heard it on the radio. Those days are definitely gone.

[paragoge]

Ces sales coups qui font souffrir, ceux auquels on s'attend le moins, qui vous fauchent au moment le plus douloureux : bref ces sales crasses humiliantes, elles sont l'image, dans le voc. psychanalytique de la "mère mauvaise" (ces griffes destructrices dans le ventre chaud, le magma, de la mère). Magma n'a rien a voir avoir une quelconque musique, mais avec la mise en son de l'association avec cette mère mauvaise, pour tuer le père (la rationalité). Comme Hitler,Vander veut caster les auditeurs

[88sublunaire]

@paragoge Plaît-il?

[Pighood]

Synth solo on the Roland JP-8000....= teh secks.

[johancurwen7]

Amazing ensamble!!! OMG!!!!

[uddentube]

Amazing is a weak word!

[Winston06310]

THE DRUMMER LOOKS LIKE RAMMSTEIN SINGER

[CinemaZebra]

@Winston06310 Really? I don't see it.

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

The lady smiling at 3:40 is funny, when the man shrieks, she is having a ball. Vander is on fire here, mesmirising Zeuhl prog.

[fracaty]

apres ca le reste parait bien plat .....

[MEGAMIGA]

@fracaty

Même la Star Ac'?

XD

[CrabTastingMan]

The Sigil at the back central part of the stage... looks almost exactly like a Scrin Sigil! The ones of CNC3, not Tiberian Sun though, cuz those are hinted to be different Scrin...

[eugenecraddock]

en quoi c'est qu'ils brament ?

[Canaveral305]

@eugenecraddock En Kobaien, une langue imaginaire créée spécialement pour les albums de Magma, depuis le tout premier. =)

[JudasProst]

Hmmm le son des claviers est délicieux, et le solo sur le Roland (c'est qui d'ailleurs, Emmanuel Borghi ?) est très bon. Et puis Antoine assure sévère !!

[AlexandreSchwartsman]

two basses. Cool. And a fan to keep Vander from overheating!

[m4viking]

cool................very cool...................

[autodidactbreather]

inspirational AND perspirational!

[kumiko117]

They all look like they're having such a good time on this old song, especially when the Zeuhl spirit enters Antoine.

[jubalprogject]

Awesome!!

[LiveinMarbles]

I'm not so fond of that promiment sound of bass but this performance rocks nonetheless

[pentacleofvenus]

I've been going through some of their videos and each song has such a different feel. I like it... This is the first i've come to that's so fusion. Can anyone suggest their favorite for me to buy?

[Samar731206]

I would suggest the album entitled "1001°Centigrades"; Magma's second studio album... three tracks... full-blown fusion.

[Magmanik]

For their early fusion sound, 1001 is a good recommendation. But for me, the pared down, ritualesque jazz-chant of Wurdah Itah (1974) cannot be topped!

The 2 studio releases of the 2000s, Kohntarkosz Anteria and Emehnteht-Re, are also worthy candidates--finally Magma studio recording that does them justice. K.a has more of a jazz sound, though heavy in repetitive chant.

Any of the DVDs are also good starting points (you can get Trilogy at Trianon on CD or download as well).

[Weniver]

My favorite is Attahk

[williamgeorgefraser]

@Weniver 

Must agree. Attahk is probably the best album ever. Absolutely love Nono.

[Shaktidej]

@pentacleofvenus

In my opinion Magma Live with Kohntark and De Futura from Udu Wudu are probably the two musical pieces that have brought me the farthest...

Listening to them in the dark with nothing to bother is a real journey into Magma's experience..

But other albums until 1980 might work as well depending on your taste :)

[SuperCartiel]

@pentacleofvenus If you haven't found them already, I suggest Weather Report, Miles Davis, Return To Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Stanley Clarke, Henry Cow, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Doldinger-Passport.

[sdgakatbk]

Just found this group through a mention of a brother of someone who's a guitarist here at work. This is excellent stuff.

[Popocaepetl]

Vander's hair might be white and scarce, but he simply doesn't age at all!

[mtopper66]

The sheer power the band puts into their live performances, even 35 years on, is frightening. The level of intensity is unmatched by any other group, even The Who at their 69-71 peak. I am always totally overwhelmed by these Youtube clips--the group are like an invading force from another planet, with Vander as emperor. They've totally conquered *my* universe.

[Voitground]

@mtopper66 i am a beloved magma fan for 30 years or more. but im very unkind for all the nazi discussion youll find for c. vander on the net. so i dont want him for emperor, as any other musician either.- at last , -great music from a disturbed mind.

[reservenavn]

@mtopper66

You took the words right out of my mouth there ..

[toadyalfred]

vander is my favorite drummer...such energy!

[Helicoilable]

Magma for eternity. Does anybody know where and the date from this live act?

[lklkhjhjdfs]

Dommage qu'il y ait pas la dernière partie .

[aloeveraqueen]

Hot...nice to see Borghi take a solo...the whole group kicks serious ass here with Vander in control of the beast

[minastronasse]

From 4:24 on, Borghi is on fire, with great backup from Widemann. An unusual and interesting version. I read Paganotti brother and sister have left the band since then : that sucks, they ruled.

[hylozoik]

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh - sooo easygoing ! =)

[luardesa]

Great Band!

[Webi12]

nice

[swolocz07]

love the fucked up vocals and insane instrumentation

[cathridge]

THis is fusion, baby. I picked this album up at the beginning of the 80s. Never thought I'd get to see a live performance of it. Christian is still amazing decades later. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[F30X8B3]

Jubilatoire !

[cesarmalopoet3169]

Bravo,magma is the best, i love Elizabeth,she is so beatiful girl and has a great voice too.

[jendralpargiyo]

who's Elizabeth?

ahhh.. You mean ISABELLE (feulleibois,vocals)

[tacomadc]

I found the Attahk record in a cutout bin in 1984 and loved the Geiger artwork so much I bought it.

It just blew my mind and shattered all my preconceptions about music. I've never listened the same way again, even though it's been a while since I've played them.

Used to know the whole record on bass and most of the lyrics too.

[giosinosps]

At tokyo next 27th of may, and I will be there!!!!

[DaZeuhlUndazir]

YES 2 BASSES

[reverso48]

le clavier sa serait pas un moog par hasard ??

[foutupourfoutu]

Deux fender rhodes il me semble

[foutupourfoutu]

Et un moog aussi effectivement

[wuckle]

One of my favourite Magma tracks - Love Attahk!!

[JabariP6]

Wow! They rock . . . I saw them on Morgan Agren's myspace top 8 and decided to look them up.Thank God I did!

[vherrera0080]

KOBAIA ISS DE HUNDIN

I hope I have the chance to see them one day..

[baretous]

vive la transe !

[ct323rx]

while watching magma in complete and utter awe one almost expects all of the instruments to spontaneously combust. they're that damn good. france/magma concert is definitely on my top things to experience list.

[applewontons]

Benoit Widemann is just sick on the Rhodes Piano and Minimoog. This version sounds way better than the Attahk version!

Kobaia is de Hundin!

[VicLowenthal]

your dam right!!

[zaran1]

Have you seen? James is playing bass instead of guitar on this one, along with Philippe.

I'm a "new" Magma fan, I discovered them with K.A. That was some kind of revelation to me.

I was somewhat dissapointed with the recording quality of their earlier studio albums. It doesn't do justice to this great music.

Thankfully that was solved with the four "Mythes et légendes" DVDs. The reinterpretation of their old classics have much greater quality than the original recordings.

[furfuryay]

the  Mythes et Legendes dvds are AMAZING! Essential. order now!

[unsubscribed]

This drummer is a porn robot. Beyond beyond.

[unsubscribed]

gorgeousity.

[Erlenv]

This is just ridiculously cool. One of the best Magma performances I have seen. It's too bad the video fades out before the song is finished. Oh well, I have to get the DVD, I guess...

[fuxer]

Thank you for this experience. I hope to have the chance to see them life.

[HyoscyamusD1000]

燃える魂! Net schled - sauguat.. Stuttgart gruesst den Rest der Welt......

[drum2000]

Top of the tree - it doesn't get any better than this - it just doesn't!!!!

[sjugge]

one of the most intense I've seen yet... thanks

[Efrasnel]

Best French band ever!!!

[FrenchProgFan]

Absolutely^^

[RabidBearpig]

@Efrasnel In all honesty, they didn't have much to beat, but I agree regardless.

[MEGAMIGA]

@RabidBearpig

I agree. France is a land of painting and literature, not music.

[tellarjj]

@MEGAMIGA That it is not true,in France we have very good musician and good band to tell the truth !...

[MEGAMIGA]

@tellarjj

Well, it is true, we do/did have people like Jean Luc Ponty, Michel Petrucciani, Serge Gainsbourg or Michel Legrand, but they are more exceptions than the rule :-)

[tellarjj]

@MEGAMIGA Yes ! it is many other French artist you know !...

[Nilguiri]

@Efrasnel

You mean there are other French bands?

[pulsembody]

this is just incredibly beautiful...

[viritrilbia]

All the members of Magma always seem to be having so much fun on stage, even when the material they're singing is serious. Did you see how the female singers were smiling while Antoine sang his intense Zeuhl chant?

[cantabile03]

Yeah that strikes me too. I ordered the DVD for that (also). It's such a pleasure to see real musicians, enjoying music, not merely doing their job.

[izrraelh]

i´m  agreed with you my friend!!!

[Efrasnel]

As intense as Klaus did way back. There playing in Lille in March, so I'm going to cross the border with France for the first time in 27 years. Magma is the best reason for that...

[viritrilbia]

Lucky you. There's a wide, cold ocean and a whole lot of passport hassle that stands between me and a Magma concert. Enjoy yourself!  :)

[Efrasnel]

Missed the French concert :-(

But they will be in Brussels on May 21st . Wild horses etc...

[viritrilbia]

So, then, are you Belgian?

I've always heard that Brussels is a beautiful city to visit. Hve fun watching Magma there; let us all know if they perform the complete version of Emehnteht-Re!  ;-)

[Efrasnel]

@viritrilbia : Sorry to reply so late. The concert was canceled :-(

[dharmabam]

vander! what a fucken psycho! what a drummer!

[Psychosirius]

vive magma pour toujours des sons envoutants et des messages à travers ces musiques laissez les vous guider

[milanlondon]

Magnificent

I discovered them today, what a treat

[Phildefrance68]

Quelle classe!!!

[opensec]

avoir loupe cette serie de concerts au triton c'est la honte complete, heureusement qu'j'etais au trianon

[wuckle]

Class!!!

[wuckle]

Class!!!

[19andrew80]

Magma! I love this!

[savelyathohn]

Exellent ! Une des premières vidéos que je voie sur Youtube qui fasse aussi bien ressortir l'énergie que délivre un magma sur scene !

[savelyathohn]

Hey kramus ! Content de te voir là et merci pour la vidéo !
