Magma (6)

French cross-genre, jazz-rock rooted, progressive rock and fusion band founded in 1969 by drummer [a=Christian Vander]. Magma have existed in two phases, the first was formed in the summer of 1969 and debuted on LP in 1970, continuing through to 1985 with many different line-ups and changes in style, inventing a genre of their own that has since become known as "Zeuhl" amongst fans. Magma then regrouped under the name [a=Offering] making a very different music, and also did a few one-off reunions over the years, after which Magma again got a new lease of life debuting on the international stage in 2000 issuing a number of new live and studio recordings over the next decades.
