Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed by Magma's mastermind as the soundtrack for a French film, this record stands as one of the most intense, violently atmospheric side-projects in the Zeuhl universe. 'Tristan et Iseult' is an incredibly dark, wonderfully epic progressive rock opera, utilizing fiercely martial drumming and remarkably complex time signatures to evoke a deeply sci-fi vision of war.
