MAGMA 15 Oct 1978 - Théâtre de l'Empire à Paris - French TV (Good Quality)

[@brookiestorer5231]

Christian Vander may be the most energetic drummer of all time...it's a miracle he didn't combust!

[@storerestore]

Still has this energy, too, at least when I saw them play a couple of years back. Absolutely relentless, he's like a force of nature.

he does combust, each time he performs, but his fire doesn't burn, it just lights our souls ...

[@jonbongjovi1869]

i am always shocked at how UN-influential MO are / were. ALL of the zillion fusion bands that followed (even RTF and Weather Report) were all the OPPOSITE of MO: all were POLITE and TIDY, while MO were ANIMALS who didn't give a fuck if they were sloppy! THAT's how I want my jazz ROCK. Too many Great Drummers are POLITE (Bruford!) which is anti-thetical to what drums are!(Pure violence!) I always wanted the brains of bruford and the brawn of Cobham! Only a few months ago did I realize Vander is one of the only other jazz-rock drummers who is like Cobham: an ANIMAL!

[@gerardotejada2531]

@@jonbongjovi1869 Progressive Hardcore draws a lot from MO, Post Hardcore bans had a podium for King Crimson and MO. I love RTF and Weather Report (Pastorius is the greatest bass player of all time), but they were Jazz Fusion, MO was full Jazz ROCK, lacked any kind of Funk vive (which RTF and WR did have) made them unfit for the jazz scene of the time. And in America if you werent a friend of Zappa you didnt fit in the progressive/avant rock scene. Gong and Magma had a Duopoly over the scene in France, to the point every other prog/fusion band there was composed of ex Magma/Gong members. MO didnt had that.

@Dfw Fqdefqw : not musicians' music! You'd be stunned witnessing how kids and toddlers react to Magma! You have a lot of young kids dancing in front of the stage at each concert, you end with parents having to take their kids to gigs because kids discoverded Magma through grand-dad!!!!... BTW, "Baba Yaga la sorcière" for children choir is nothing else than Mekhanik Destruktiw Kommandoh less long instrumental zones... and you have choirs of 40-100 9-11y old kids singing THIS!!!!

[@gregorthebug]

Can anyone translate the interview into English? I think I caught "new music", "multiplied energy", "my house", "riches", "definition of a musician", "clocks", "consciousness of the night", and "responsibility"? Next, look at the very first seconds of music, when the camera is on the keyboard player. He is playing 4 beats per measure with his right hand, but 3 beats per measure with his left hand. Stella Vander does the same thing when she takes over on piano while this keyboard player is soloing at around 4:48. I don't know, maybe this kind of rhythmic complexity is easy for piano players, but I tried to tap the rhythm on my knees, and I can't do it at all. Simply astounding, and beautiful!

Crimson King- Zeuhl is an extreme form of Fusion, that is all. This is definitely from the realm of Fusion, not Jazz-Rock; above all, it is Progressive as Progessive could conceivably be. Always so wonderful to see a Crimson fan who loves Magma as well...they are surely two of the greatest in the 70's, along w/ VdGG, the early Genesis records...

[@RocknJazzer]

The terms Fusion and Jazz Rock were used basically interchangeably in the 70s, and has continued that way more or less, to the point neither mean anything different, and neither mean anything specific anymore either so both have lost any real meaning. Also magma changed it's style many times from more jazz to less, etc over time. I would say they are a progressive group that used elements of jazz and fusion, but were never fully fusion as they do not improvise solos much like real 70s fusion, that is a big difference. You can't really nail them down with any one term basically.

No one talked about jazz or rock back then...Vander shouldn't be considered as a rock artist or any kind of contributor to a certain music genre. What he contributes to is only art. He's a classical composer, using modern equipement.

True, One can hear elements from artists like Igor stravinskij , Coltrane, Carl Heinrich Maria Orff, bela bartok and many more

[@terrymorris2513]

[@coosoorlog]

Philip Glass once described what he thought to be the difference between classical music composers and popular music composers by explaining that classical composers create musical language whereas pop composers use languages created by classical composers. In this sense, Vander is definitely a classical composer.

[@brianparks2039]
