rain of stars

That's a long time that I know Magma, I have seen them often on stage in the 70 concerts were always époustoufflants and vital energy very communicative C.Vander. Magma fans often crystallize around their Vander god is sometimes almost bizzare, brief ...
This disc was a very long labor, the group recording when he could, during moments of pause or night, studio (Davoust I think ...)
Leaving the boxes to JF Laizeau, Vander apparently privileged, hyper clean side of the disc, probably the best of the group also prod at his level.
We meet all the usual influences, Otis, of course, the Coltrane specter hovering above everything. The album remains very pop, soul course and already some beginnings Offering are felt. There is even machinery, good very good. But it very clear disc, very clear, no longer possesses the original noiceur. This is not necessarily a defect moreover, Vander proving that it is capable of outputting the villain role in which it is often confined .... This disc is not my favorite at Magma, Magma course HHAI is grandiose, acoustic formula of Tristan and Isolde is also recommended, it seems to me that it is not on sale on Amazon, damage to new fans, Attack is also a separate disc that already foreshadowed celui- above.
But beware auditors, Magma fans have easy stars, they often tend to find everything great about their favorite group, while not always at that level. Beware you also comparisons (Wagner and Co ...) There is much to say, however, there is revolt among this group, a terrible desire to never make any concession, and in this kind of unclassifiable pop, Magma can easily bring key works by Krimson or order.
