Xmas In March
2025 Stock. 300 copies. Jac Berrocal and David Fenech have been recording together for over a decade, a partnership that has produced albums with Ghédalia Tazartès (RIP) and Vincent Epplay, and led to performances alongside Felix Kubin, Jean-Hervé Peron, Jean Noel Cognard, and Thierry Müller (Illitch).

A monumental document of Magma at their most powerful! Recorded over two nights during the band's 30th anniversary celebration at the Trianon theater in Paris (May 13-14, 2000), this is the first and only recording to present the complete Theusz Hamtaahk trilogy in its entirety: "Theusz Hamtaahk" ("Time of Hatred"), "Ẁurdah Ïtah" ("Dead Earth"), and the legendary "Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh".

Mu
2016 release ** "The music created by French guitar iconoclast and electronic music pioneer Richard Pinhas and insistently inventive San Francisco Bay Area guitarist Barry Cleveland on Mu originated in just such a way, arising seemingly from "nothingness." The two had contemplated performing as well as recording together for several years before their stars finally aligned, and they played several Bay Area shows during the same period that Mu was recorded. Unfettered by genre conventions, Mu is …
