SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator

this is an piece of cake anthology to review. If you are reading this yous are probably familiar with the music and linguistic communication of Magma. If not.. get acclainted with a copy of Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh. This album is an 'official' homemade recorded in Brussels at Theater 140 the twelfth of Nov 1971. The engagement is significant for a couple of reasons. Showtime off this was the first public performance of Mekanik Kommandoh which of form became the footing for their landmark (and essential anthology of prog) Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh. Secondly as a huge fan of the fusionairy debut anthology Kobaia, I wanted to hear live versions of songs from that album. On both counts the album left me completely satisfied.

Being a offficial 'homemade' I experience a discussion about the quality of the anthology should exist said. It is a released bootleg so don't expect 100% perfect audio quality. This anthology is for probably for Magma fans but. That said the quality was never a hinderance to my enjoyment of the anthology. Now on to the album itself

The album contains three songs off of Kobaia. Stoah, Kobaia, and Aina. The whole of the 1001 degrees Centigrade album, and ii works in the determinative phases at that betoken. The same Mekanik Kommandoh, and Sowiloi which would turn up afterwards on the outakes album Inedits. The i thing that really stood out between this anthology and the previous versions of songs I noticed, was the Rhodes Piano and it's central place in the live Magma sound. Many accoustic parts in Kobaia were played instead by the Rhodes. That took a bit of getting use to for me since part of my love of Kobaia was the great accoustic piano playing.

The highlights for me...

Stoah. Those opening vocals are impressive. Even more so in the live environment. The vocals are so massive on this album. Must have been an incredible live evidence.

Iss Lansei Doia. My least favorite song off of 1001 is transformed here into a favorite by a simple shift in instruments. The menacing intro riff instead of being played on the bass is instead played on the accoustic piano. Adds a whole new darker vibe to it.

Mekanik Kommandoh a showcase for Blasquiz's vocal improvisations. A fascinating mind. 18 minutes of total musical freedom.

Magma is not for anybody so I'm torn in trying to rate the album. Much like my ELO anthology earlier today, my personal score will be several stars college than I actually rate it. For myself 4 stars. In general for the prog community. Magma/Zeuhl completionists only just that is no reflection on the incredible quality of this music.
