Rïah Sahïltaahk Explained

Rïah Sahïltaahk is the twelfth studio album by French band Magma, released on 15 September 2014.^[1]

Background

The song "Rïah Sahïltaahk" was featured on the band's second studio album 1001° Centigrades in their early period of activity, taking up the entire side one of the LP. The band's leader, Christian Vander, was not satisfied with the final recording present on the album, but relented as other band members found it satisfactory.^[1]

For the 45th anniversary of Magma, Vander chose to pursue an alternative take of the song, with new instrumental passages which were not present on the original recording, along with forgoing brass instrumentation in favor of vocal parts.^{[2] [3]}
