Magma (Magma album)

1970 studio album by Magma

Magma is the self-titled debut album by French rock band Magma. Released as a double-LP in 1970, it is a concept album which tells the story of a group of people fleeing a doomed Earth to settle on the fictional planet Kobaïa. Except for the first song, which is sung in English, all lyrics are sung in the Kobaïan language invented by the band. Although initially self-titled, the album was later reissued under the name Kobaïa.

Legacy

The title track, "Kobaïa", has been played as a regular part of Magma concerts since its original recording, although in a jazzier version akin to that of the version on the live album Live/Hhaï (1975), which also featured new lyrics, in Kobaïan, instead of English.
