I did not expect to see a Magma discussion on HN, haha. I saw them live back in 2015 and it was so surreal.

- phlakaton 5y agoAu contraire, I would not expect anything else but that there are Magma fans lurking on HN. :-P Some of us even have the necklace pendant to prove it! None other than Jello Biafra introduced them at a concert at the Fillmore not too long ago, saying how much he dug them. Now THAT was not something I was prepared for!
- accraze 5y agoAgreed! I saw Magma in Portland, OR on their 2016 tour. I remember how effortless they made everything look, all the songs seemed to blend in and out of each other, so surreal. It felt like I was watching some intergalactic opera/theater presentation, probably one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Wish I could understand Kobaïan...
- moogly 5y agoYeah, the show I went to in 2017 (they played Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré and Theusz Hamtaahk in their entirety) was the best show I've been to since Mr. Bungle's California tour back in 1999. Then I saw them 2 years later where they played a much extended version of De Futura (and other songs). Great, too, but as a smaller line-up.
- accraze 5y agoWow, Bungle's California tour is the stuff of legends. I've only seen videos but I still can't figure out how they managed to pull it off live. Never saw Bungle, but I did see Fantomas on the Suspended Animation tour, which was another one of those albums I have no clue how they managed to perform night after night.
