Exmagma were a mostly instrumental crazy German jazz/rock trio of Thomas Baluff (organ & piano), Andy Goldner (guitar, bass, alto sax) and Fred Braceful (drums).
They recorded two albums, including a very rare and quite strange 1st album and their 2nd (this one), more progressive fusion album, which I've always been extremely fond of, and which, 'strangely', was only released in France (and on Richard Pinhas' Urus label to boot)!
By the way, their original name was Magma, and then they found out about the more famous French band Magma - so they changed their name! Hugely recommended!
"Fronted by guitarist multi-instrumentalist Andy Göldner, with an aspiring Mike Ratledge-like organist in Tommy Balluff and the long-time Wolfgang Dauner and Et Cetera drummer Fred Braceful, the curiously named Exmagma created an avant-garde rock-jazz that was full of invention.
Strangely, their second album GOLDBALL was only released in France, and because of the bands name it caused much confusion amongst Magma collectors! Much less avant-garde, and closer to Isotope or Hugh Hopper's mid-70's releases, it should please most Canterbury fans."-The Crack In The Cosmic Egg
