Album Notes & Community Reviews
On 'Attahk', Christian Vander dramatically shortened Magma's notoriously long-form compositions, infusing their mythological zeuhl universe with deep elements of driving funk and R&B. The album remains profoundly dense and highly progressive, pairing their distinct, martial chanting with wildly eclectic, remarkably rhythmic avant-garde jazz fusion arrangements.
