Led by classically-trained drummer Christian Vander, the
Paris-based Magma was, in their way, perhaps the ultimate
progressive-rock group; while other artists achieved
greater commercial success and critical acclaim, Magma
typified the many ambitions and excesses of the genre
which won it as many detractors as fans, even going so far
as to invent their own lyrical and musical language in
order to bring their unique vision to life. The son of a
jazz pianist, Vander initially followed in his father's
footsteps, modeling his technique on the work of John
Coltrane alum Elvin Jones and starting his career with a
number of jazz and R&B outfits. While in Paris in 1969,
however, he was struck by a vision of earth's spiritual
and ecological future which so disturbed him that he
decided to explore his fears by musical means, assembling
Magma with the aid of wife and vocalist Stella, singer
Klaus Blasquiz, and fusion bassists Francis Moze and
Jannick Top.
As outlined on the group's eponymous 1970 double-album
debut, Vander's tale ù projected to be told over the
course of ten LPs ù pitted earth against a rival planet
named Kobaia. Over the course of 1971's 1001 Centigrade
and 1973's Mekan?k Destruct?w Kommandoh (recorded with a
choir), the story ù much of it told in native Kobaian ù
unfolded to depict an earth so uninhabitable that its
citizens must flee to the nearby planet, where years of
conflict culminated in the achievement of cosmic harmony
and a reconciliation with the deity Pt?h. Chart success
was not forthcoming, and after a few early tours of the
U.S. and Britain Magma spent the middle years of the
decade almost exclusively in France, where they launched
records including 1974's Kohntarkosz and the next year's
Live. After the commercial failure of 1976's Udu Wadu and
1977's Edits, Magma essentially disbanded, although the
group lived on in various forms, as alumni founded a
number of loosely-affiliated splinter groups to carry on
Vander's work in subsequent years, including Art Zoyd,
Univers Zero, Ensemble Nimbus, Happy Family and Ruins. In
1983, Vander himself resurfaced with the acoustic project
Offering, but later returned to more grandiose designs
with Les Voix de Magma, an attempt to resurrect his early
material for a new generation of listeners.
