There is a small sub-genre of prog known as Zeuhl that is usually associated with Magma-influenced bands in France, Belgium, and Japan. Definitely some of my favorite prog. Especially highly recommended are Univers Zero, Art Zoyd, and Koenji Hyakkei. Mostly instrumental "chamber rock" that is worth exploring if you are interested in musical that is more timbrally diverse than standard guitar-dominated rock music. I think the best description I've seen of Magma is "Klingon Opera". Also, here's a video where someone tries to put English lyrics to Magma. Definitely one of the most bizarre things I've seen on youtube. My Neighbors Suffer Whee Whee Whee Whee Whee

X-Ray Pecs posted:The idea of listening to Magma has interested me, but I don't know where to start. Anyone have any suggestions? The album mentioned earlier in this thread, Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh, is probably their most well-known album, and is certainly my favorite of the few Magma CDs I have. You can buy the album here, Wayside Music which is an awesome place to find obscure, unclassifiable music such as other avant-prog bands.

Sprint posted:^^^^ Just want to say thank you for this site! Am finding fantastic deals on albums I've been having trouble getting. Are they usually reliable/good quality? I've never had any problems, except maybe cracked CD cases from shipping. If you buy the $4 discount Cuneiform CDs they will probably have a hole drilled through the CD case, but who cares at that price.
