Ehn Deiss was the encore. It is actually an Offering composition, but quite gorgeous.

Nice! I love Offering.
Yes that was it.
I don't know the Offering stuff at all - is that typical of their sound?
I saw The Offering at RIO a few years ago, to be honest it didn't really grab me. I'm not that enamored with Christian singing.

Yes and no, kind of an acoustic jazzier version of Magma based on piano , vocals and percussion. It's influenced by Coltrane and Sanders and has longer improvisations. If you like Magma and Coltrane you should check the records

Yeah, but there's at times also much more of the 'faux-gospel' influx going on with Offering. Which I'll admit to not truly like at all, except when as skewed as on Attahk. I'd personally rather recommend the Christian Vander Trio before Offering, although the CVT operate more squarely in 'jazz as known'.

There are some incredibly phenomenal Offering tunes: the one I love best is their showstopper, the 45-minute Another Day, which brings in specific elements of John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders (A Love Supreme, and Upper and Lower Egypt). It has incredible vocalese between Christian and Stella.

Always loved "Joia" - if you want 17 minutes of Vander scatting it'll be right up your alley!

Definitely true, and I'm not always nuts about that aspect myself... But there are still some really powerful and interesting pieces, like "A Fiieh" and "Purificatem". At times they are more harmonically fascinating than Magma, to me at least.
But I'm kind of a sucker for the giddy joyousness of tunes like "C'est Pour Nous" also.
Move past the percussion solo to get a sense of Joia.
I wonder what the lyrics are about here, because this seems really a dark song.

There's hardly more soul or gospel to be had, is there:

Btw; would a bonafide racist do this?

He just has some really unsolved issue with his (Gypsy) father, otherwise he proved not to be an racist at all.
Is that Jannick or Francis playing that tasty bass?
Love it
Speaking of which, I'm still wanting to hear your thoughts on the whole Christian Vander controversy thing.

<sig out of order>
A new Magma album is always a joy. I hope it is not Zess, because IIRC Christian Vander has often said this would be his last recorded piece, with Magma, at least.
So, I know little about Magma, but clicking on videos above put me down a youtube hole, and just listened to several versions of this song (kobaian and french) over my streetcart lamb and rice, and damn if this isn't spectacular piece of music.
