Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from his keyboard duties with the legendary Magma, Beno卯t Widemann delivers a dizzying, synthesizer-heavy masterpiece of instrumental fusion. 'Tsunami' leans heavily on lightning-fast Moog solos and frantic, jazz-rock time signatures, while maintaining the dark, driving undercurrents of his Zeuhl origins. It serves as a formidable showcase of late-seventies French electronic virtuosity.
