AKT 15

AKT 15 is the latest and long awaited document of the AKT series. While chosen for their rich and original musical content, rather than strictly technical qualities per se, these archives are a testament to the astounding talent of cult band Magma during its soon-to-be 40 years of career. This particular concert, recorded in Bourges in 1979, stands out as a moment of grace, partly due to its extreme tension and the risks taken collectively, which the audience still reminisces of to this day. And if all the musicians offer, as usual, their energy ever so in synch with their worldly reputation, AKT 15 holds a special place in the band's history, documenting for the first time ever this particular period. All earthly fans and more recent amateurs will, without a doubt, take great pleasure in (re)discovering that exceptional performance.
