Thread: Magma TOUR updates!

  1. #76
    Gleizes would be obvious. Given what has taken place over the last year, I was thinking it could be... Morgen Agren. Now, that would be something!

    But Don Brewer would be cool. :-) Grand Funk Magma.

    If it is a studio recording of Zess, why do they need a guest drummer? Christian could play the drums and overdub the vocals. Not rocket science. If Magma have to record an older piece, I would have preferred it be Theusz Hamtaahk since no studio version of that exists either.

    Taking a wild guess here, but I'd say it's because Magma (and CV) want the guest drummer to perform with them on it.

    Well count me excited. I had a feeling it would be Zess, but according to interviews (can't remember which), more music is being composed, so hopefully it won't just be a straight recording, but an expansion of what we know. I remember somewhere Vander said a lot of the new stuff is similar to the "atmoshperes of Kohntarkosz."

    It's not like Christian can perform the polyrhythmic cowbell duet alone.

    Ooh, good point! I just hope he overdubs some kazoo on there afterwards.

    Well, according to rumour the version on Retrospektïw I-II is heavily infused with studio inputs, thus allegedly more 'studio' than the one on Londres 1974. Still they both come off excellently live, of course - so whether live or studio really doesn't matter all that much. "Zess" would be highly appreciated, IMHO.

    Damn, they've been on a marvellous run this past decade.

    Less. Only the introductory 'overture'.

    sweet. Thanks. I'm looking forward to it.

    I certainly hope there will be some succulent duel drumming action somewhere (and certainly not that Vander won't play drums at all).
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.

    I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.

    It's posted on their website now, but with a (wrong?) 2019 date.

    It’s two different concerts. The Jazz à Vienne festival is held in the city of Vienne. The concert announced on their website is in Paris.

    Magma à Vienne.

    If you're going to get a second drummer then Agren is a superb pick.

    The -single best- pick out there.

    And not only for Magma, although his capacity will count for them as it has for Laswell, Björkenheim, Thordendal, Townsend, Dunn et al.
