Trilogie Au Trianon
''Theusz Hamtaahk'' is a live album by the French rock band Magma, released in 2001. The album was recorded in 2000 over the course of two days during Magma's 30th anniversary shows at the Trianon theater, Paris, France and released both as a 3 audio CD box with a 16-page color booklet and libretti containing all the lyrics, and as a DVD. It is the first record to contain all three movements of the trilogy ''Theusz Hamtaahk'': *The first movement, "Theusz Hamtaahk" ("Time of Hatred"), had already been part of Magma's live repertoire since the mid-1970s and was first recorded "live" in a London BBC studio session in 1974, but was not released on record until the 1981 live album '' Retrospektiw (Parts I+II)'', recorded in 1980. *The second movement, '' Ẁurdah Ïtah'' ("Dead Earth"), was released before by a core quartet of then Magma members in 1974 under the name of bandleader Christian Vander as a soundtrack studio album for Yvan Lagrange's 1972 avant-garde film Tristan et Ise ...

Magma (band)
Magma is a French progressive rock band founded in Paris in 1969 by classically trained drummer Christian Vander, who claimed as his inspiration a "vision of humanity's spiritual and ecological future" that profoundly disturbed him. In the course of their first album, the band tells the story of a group of people fleeing a doomed Earth to settle on the planet Kobaïa. Later, conflict arises when the Kobaïans—descendants of the original colonists—encounter other Earth refugees. The style of progressive rock that Vander developed with Magma is termed Zeuhl, and has been applied to other bands in France operating in the same period, and to some recent Japanese bands. Vander created a fictional language, Kobaïan, in which most lyrics are sung. In a 1977 interview with Vander and long-time Magma vocalist Klaus Blasquiz, Blasquiz said that Kobaïan is a "phonetic language made by elements of the Slavonic and Germanic languages to be able to express some things musically.

Stella Vander
Stella Vander (born Stella Zelcer, also known as Stella; 12 December 1950) is a French singer and musician. Early years Born in Paris into a family of Polish immigrants, she began writing music in the early sixties together with her uncle Maurice Chorenslup. Their songs were parodies of the Yé-yé style that was popular at the time. Stella's first EP, which included "Pourquoi pas moi", was released in November 1963, when she was twelve. In 1966, "Un air du folklore Auvergnat" ("a folk song from Auvergne", mocking Sheila's "Le Folklore Américain") increased her fame, followed by protests by the Auvergnat association—which took the lyrics seriously. Her take on music was "engagingly sarcastic". 1966's ''Beatnicks D'Occasion'' targeted weekend scenesters. Her final record as Stella was released in 1967.

Tristan And Iseult
Tristan and Iseult, also known as Tristan and Isolde and other names, is a medieval chivalric romance told in numerous variations since the 12th century. Based on a Celtic legend and possibly other sources, the tale is a tragedy about the illicit love between the Cornish knight Tristan and the Irish princess Iseult. It depicts Tristan's mission to escort Iseult from Ireland to marry his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall. On the journey, Tristan and Iseult ingest a love potion, instigating a forbidden love affair between them. The story has had a lasting impact on Western culture. Its different versions exist in many European texts in various languages from the Middle Ages. The earliest instances take two primary forms: the courtly and common branches. The former begins with the 12th-century poems of Thomas of Britain and Béroul, while the latter reflects a now-lost original version. A subsequent version emerged in the 13th century in the wake of the greatly expanded Prose ''Tris ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ẁurdah Ïtah
''Ẁurdah Ïtah'' is the fourth studio album by French avant-prog and zeuhl band Magma. The album was originally released June 15, 1974 under the name ''Tristan et Iseult'' as a Christian Vander solo studio film soundtrack. The soundtrack was for Yvan Lagrange's 1972 avant-garde and incredibly obscure film ''Tristan et Iseult''. The album was recorded by a core quartet of Magma members (only consisting of drums, bass, piano, and vocals). It was re-released on Magma's label Seventh Records in 1989 with the Magma logo on its cover, and ever since, it has been retrospectively contextualised as a Magma album. ''Ẁurdah Ïtah'' (which translates from Kobaïan roughly as ''Dead Earth'') is the second part of the Theusz Hamtaahk Trilogy. It is preceded by '' Theusz Hamtaahk'' (''Time of Hatred''), which is only available on live albums, including '' Retrospektïẁ (Parts I+II)'' (1981), and '' Trilogie Theusz Hamtaahk (Concert du Trianon)'' (2001), and succeeded by ''Mëkanïk Dë ...

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
