LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

• Exclusive 2LP translucent blue vinyl
• Deluxe gatefold sleeve
• One of the greatest live albums in progressive rock history
• Magma at their creative and performative peak (1975, Paris – Olympia)
• Five extended live performances across two records
• An absolute classic - a must-have for any serious record collection

Live / Hhaï captures Magma at a stunning creative peak, recorded in 1975 at Paris’ Taverne de l’Olympia. Presented here for its 50th anniversary as an exclusive 2LP edition on translucent blue vinyl, this landmark live album remains one of the most powerful documents in progressive rock and Zeuhl history.

Led by drummer, composer and visionary Christian Vander, the band delivers a performance of extraordinary intensity and precision. Jazz fusion, heavy rock, choral power, funk, spiritual energy and Magma’s invented Kobaïan language combine into a sound that feels completely unique and otherworldly.

Across five extended pieces, including the monumental Köhntark, the group moves with remarkable force and unity. More than just a live recording, Live / Hhaï stands as a defining statement from Magma’s classic era and an essential album for serious collectors of progressive, experimental and avant-rock music.
