The masters of Zeuhl return on vinyl! Christian Vander's cosmic vision at its most luminous and transcendent. Originally released in 2012, Félicité Thösz was Magma's first album of new material in 27 YEARS after their 1996 reformation. Think about that for a second. Twenty-seven years!
And what a comeback this is. Gone are the martial thunderstorms of Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh - here we get celestial vocal tapestries, Stella Vander's voice soaring like a messenger from another dimension, piano and glockenspiel cascading like light through stained glass. Carl Orff meets Philip Glass on planet Kobaïa. Ritual music for the soul. The 28-minute title suite flows through ten interconnected movements - operatic, hypnotic, absolutely STUNNING. Bruno Ruder on piano delivers some of the most beautiful passages in the entire Magma catalogue.
Music On Vinyl does it right: 180 gram audiophile vinyl, cut at 45 RPM for maximum sonic depth, housed in a deluxe 3mm sleeve with insert. The low-end is warm and rolling, the vocals crisp and life-like. This is how it should be heard!
Format
Packaged in a single jacket with 2-page color printed insert and black polylined inner LP sleeve in a clear resealable polypropylene sleeve with hype sticker affixed to the front.
