	New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock MA-MAR
		Magma were a very influential French band from the seventies whose music was a very powerfully rhythmic combination of jazz influences and rock, fronted by the dramatic vocals of Christian Vander.
		This is probably the least appreciated of their albums, as it's the first that is in no way connected to Theusz Hamtaahk (the Kobaïan history) and features songs sung in french and english.
		Attahk is another one of the band's more accessible albums, more song orientated with more pronounced jazz and rock influences, and primarily featuring the trilling falsetto voice of Vander, as opposed to Blasquiz' unearthly barks and growls.
