Simples compiles Magma’s 7-inch singles from the early ’70s, offering a fascinating glimpse into the band’s formative years when they were still shaping the zeuhl language and sound. Tracks like “Klaus Kombalad” and “Mekanik Kommando” hint at the grand vision to come, mixing psychedelic rock, jazz inflections, and embryonic Kobaïan vocal experiments. There’s a certain raw charm here—less disciplined than later epics, but bubbling with intensity and a weird theatricality.
2021 European 10-inch RSD reissue from Music On Vinyl/Seventh Records. Love it!
