FRENCH BAND Magma return to Britain next month for their second headlining concert tour. Their opening gig is at Slough Community Centre on June 6 and A&M are rush releasing the band's next album 'Köhntarkösz' on June 7 to tie in with the tour.
Producer Georgio Gomelsky is currently finishing mixing sessions at studios in France where Magma have been recording all this month. Problems arose with the recording when guitarist Claude Olmos split from the band and British guitarist Brian Godding (formerly with Blossom Toes and Mike Westbrook) completed the album with Magma and will probably go on tour with the band.
