Jazz rock; Zeuhl
Latest: 111 (2023)
One Shot (1999)
This is the original mix. I bought this when it came out as it promised to demonstrate what the current Magma lineup was doing on their off days when Vander wasn't around. Well it isn't Zeuhl, but rather a heavy kind of instrumental jazz rock similar to the 70s masters. It's very well done with excellent instrumentation and sound. However it's very derivative lacking any kind of hooks, composition, or innovation one would look for at this late date. It's a One Shot jam essentially, which was the premise of the group to be fair. This one really is too much of the same thing. A lot of notes but not a lot of music. I own three others by them, hopefully they're more interesting to me.
