“Stoah” by Magma
From the 1970 album Magma

I’m not going to pretend this is easy listening, and it’s not my favorite work by Magma by any stretch of the imagination. (This is more my style.) But as alien as Magma’s invented language and futuristic dystopian concept are, nothing could be so alien to my brain in the United States, in 2009, as France in 1970, where a band like this could get on TV lip syncing a song like this. Even in 1970, there’s no way Dick Clark would have welcomed Christian Vander and company to the stage of American Bandstand.
