  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yeah, Magma is pretty cool, I've got a couple of their albums. There's a great review of Köntarkösz here as well as a very entertaining overview of their 1970s output (there's a smattering of bad language here, just a warning):

The bit about Jannik Top had me rolling on the ground when I first read it; it's so awesome, in fact, that I feel compelled to quote it here:

Jannik Top! I’m shaking in me booties just thinking ‘bout him. Jannik Top was a Gene Simmons for people with their own IQ. He played the bass like a Tyrannosaurus Rex skinning a Stegosaurus. He was at least eight feet tall and had claws instead of hands. His bass sound made the night fall early, and kept the moon from rising at all. He didn’t have amplifiers, he just plugged straight into the National Grid and drained the neighbourhood. Upon the ogre-ish arrival of Jannik Top, the early brass section of two saxes and trumpet had left bloodied, sweating and teary - exit three cool-schoolers pursued by a bear.

Since we've broached the subject of obscure 1970s Gallic prog, how about Art Zoyd or Univers Zero?
