MAGMA - 迷幻摇滚传奇首次来华!来自70年代的前卫体验!

“数个世纪之后，人类文明毁灭了，少数人类离开了地球，在一个遥远的行星Kobaïa上建立了新的文明…… - 这就是法国前卫摇滚乐团Magma的幻想，概念专辑？不，这是一个概念乐队！Magma几乎所有的作品都是描述Kobaïa文明的起源和发展，而且用的都是Kobaïa语言——Magma自己创造的语言！所以，Kobaïa星球上的音乐也是和地球音乐迥然不同的。Magma的音乐非常奇怪，也非常优美，当然他们有自己的体系。Magma由深受Chet Baker和John Coltrane影响的鼓手Christian Vander领导，先后更换了无数个成员，几乎囊括了所有法国摇滚精英。不同于其他名声显赫的前卫摇滚乐队，Magma当时获得的评价可谓毁誉参半，不过现在看来，Magma的伟大已经不容置疑。在前卫爵士乐的发展史上天马行空的概念只有另一个号称来自的外层空间的Sun Ra(1917-1993)与之呼应；而在融合爵士与空间迷幻概念的成就上也只有同期的跨国籍(英法澳)组合Gong才可比拟；而九十年代它也启发了不少欧陆新生代乐团如同样以神话传奇为号召的Ayreon、Rhapsody、Skylark。他们的众多追随者更组成了Zeuhl协会专门推广这类与当代剧场舞蹈等多媒体媒介紧密结合的音乐(Zeuhl是Magma的寓言故事里曾出现过的地名)，也有人把这种与Magma相关或直接受他影响的哥特调性+前卫爵士+迷幻摇滚+现代音乐含糊地统称为Zeuhl music。”

It was in 1970 that the explosive Magma with their strange and beautiful sound mixing as various music genres as free jazz, classical, blues, progressive rock and pop in combination with their own compound of experimental symphonic rock music first erupted from our record players. In their more-than-40-years-long career Magma has recorded an impressive amount of records and albums, many of them centered on the mystical legend of the planet Kobaïa, which is settled by refugees from Earth in some distant future. Magma’s songs are all sung in Kobaïan, a language invented by the band, which fans of Magma have actually learned to decipher and speak to one another ! Their most famous albums include the trilogy “TheuszHamtaahk”, “WurdahÏtah” and “MekanïkDestruktïwKommandöh”, featuring songs of unbelievable precision and intensiveness for the avant-garde public. A legendary French group if there ever was one, Magma has continued to influence the course of contemporary music since their debut in 1970.

From September 2014 to November 2015, the now almost 70 year old Christian Vander and Magma have planned a new – and maybe last – concert tour all over the world, called “The Endless Tour”. Their announced dates for China are the following：

2015 May 29th:

SHENZHEN - TOMORROW FESTIVAL - B10 LIVE

2015 May 30th:

BEIJING - YUGONG YISHAN

2015 May 31st:
