1) Magma is the brain-child of drummer/composer Christian Vander formed in Paris, France in 1969, disbanded in 1983 and reformed in 1996. Starting with a base of experimental rock heavily influenced by jazz and 20th century classical music, the band developed such a unique style of progressive rock that it became a new genre called Zeuhl. Characterized by insistent and repetitive rhythms, dramatic vocals, virtuosic solos, heavy bass playing, and jazzy drums, Zeuhl has been emulated by numerous followers from all over the world. Almost all of Magma's lyrics are sung in the constructed language known as "Kobaïan" and concerns a lengthy saga about Earth and the planet Kobaïa, with spiritual and environmental themes.
2) Magma is a progressive folk group from Argentina. The music retains strong Andean influences and is notable for incorporating the flutes of the region. Their output is notable for meshing the Andean elements with Spanish folk guitar and the adoption of European song structures and instrumentation. Extended prog and folk songs see the use of both Mellotron and pan flutes. Despite being an 1980s outfit, their music is reminiscent of 70s progressive rock and 60s/70s folk. Truly a great example of music transculturation on various levels.

"Mekanik kommandoh" is a song by French progressive rock band Magma, which tells the story of a group of people who live in a dystopian society where a mechanical, totalitarian force controls their lives. The lyrics are a mix of invented words and phonetically-altered French and German, reflecting the band's focus on creating a unique musical and linguistic vocabulary in their music.
The song opens with the repeated phrase "Zïss ünt ëtnah," which translates to "Here and There." This can be interpreted as a representation of the duality of the society in the song, divided between those who are free and those who are controlled. The chorus repeats this phrase throughout the song, creating an almost ritualistic feel.
The lyrics then describe the people's struggle against the mechanical force that oppresses them. They chant "Dö wëhlïlïp döwatsïndöh," which means "Ten thousand times we will fight." They speak of the "Mëkanïk," the mechanical force that controls them, and their desire to break free from its grasp. The repeated use of "Hël Hël Hël" can be interpreted as a plea for help or as a chant of rebellion.
