“Lirik Necronomicus Kant” is a real oddity – imagine thick Magma bass combined with a discoish beat and a lead melody that seems to be played on a kazoo. Very weird, but it works. “Maahnt (The Wizards Fight vs. the Devil)” gets my vote for worst ever subtitle for a prog song (makes me glad I can’t understand most of the band’s lyrics), but the music itself is good. One day while listening to “Dondaï”, I was reflecting on how surprisingly pretty it is for a Magma song when my wife came into the room and asked how I can stand to listen to that crap – apparently Vander’s screechy falsetto vocals kept her from hearing the beauty of the underlying music.
