This edition was originally published with the GIGANTIC A0 size UZMK family
tree (that's why there is very little news in this issue). The tree was an early
version and was substantially updated at the end of 1991. The tree gets updated
every six months or so. Please let me know of any albums missing from the tree.
Also note that the concept of it was not to list the Magma albums and personnel
because you know that already! But to record the activities of each and every
musician in the UZMK, before and after working with Christian Vander. Obviously,
albums that took several months or years (e.g. 'Inedits') to record do not fit
well in the overall scheme of the tree.
Later on in the life of Ork Alarm! we will include a discography.
29-03-91 MJC, Epinay sur Seine (11km from Paris) 30-03-91 Grand Théâtre, Reims

In addition to the MAGMA concert at the Grand Théâtre in Reims, MAGMA with musicians from DON'T DIE and ZUKUNFT (both Zeuhl groups) will now be performing pieces from the MAGMA repertoire at the Maison Jeunesse Culturel on Good Friday in Epinay sur Seine (near Cyborg's offices?). All these dates are now confirmed. We understand from Georges Besnier that Klaus Blasquiz will not be taking part, but that 'Mekanïk' will still be included in the MAGMA concerts. Once again Ork Alarm! is a bit short on news, but with the tour about to start, I thought it best to mail it out anyway. If you can, please send me reviews for future issues and any information.
As you are probably aware, there is an extreme shortage of English reviews on MAGMA - so future issues of Ork Alarm! will have to rely on French ones unless one of you volunteers some translations for publication.
The Gretsch tour advert: with Jean-Luc Chevalier (who was Gorgo in concert from 1978 to 1983), Christian Vander (Zebëhn) and Michel Hervé (who was Ourgon in concert only in 1979) is from Rock et Folk magazine June 1979... so don't rush out to book those Air Europe flights!
