Formed in June 1974 in Chaumont, a city in central France, the band DRUMLINGSONG—whose members had previously performed mainly blues-rock covers—was inspired by artists such as MAGMA, SOFTMACHINE, and the MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA. Over the course of approximately three years, they maintained a steady schedule of live performances, frequently sharing the stage with renowned bands like MAGMA, ANGE, MASAL, ETRONFOULELOUBLAN, and frequently shared the stage with them. They maintained a steady live schedule for about three years. At one point, they were signed to the Utopia label founded by Giorgio Gomelsky, but due to the label’s dissolution, they were unable to even plan a recording session. Compounded by financial difficulties and members leaving the band, they ultimately CARMINA, a jazz-rock\/Zeuhl band that disbanded in June 1977 without leaving any recorded works, following their appearance at a festival. For a long time, only unofficial live recordings circulated, making them a band known only to true enthusiasts. Now, live and rehearsal recordings of CARMINA are set for their first official release in early 2026 on the French label SoleilZeuhl!\n\nIn their early days, the band focused primarily on jazz-influenced, all-instrumental improvisation, but they gradually reduced solo parts to enhance their compositional structure. The original song \"Hamra\" was born when operatic vocals and choruses, influenced by MAGMA, were added to this framework. This release features three live and rehearsal recordings of \"Hamra,\" recorded between 1976 and 1977, presented in chronological order. Featuring a guitar-less twin-keyboard lineup, their performance is intense—as if MAGMA, ZAO, and SOFTMACHINE had all melted together into a thick, viscous blend. The content surpasses that of contemporaneous MAGMA followers like POTEMKINE and RIALZU, who were also reissued by SoleilZeuhl!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Harma - Studio Johanna (Bagnolet) 25 janvier 1976\u003cbr\u003e2.Harma - Repetition decembre 1976\u003cbr\u003e3.Harma (extrait) - Rappel concert Chaumont 2 juin 1977\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soleil Zeuhl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52637734928673,"sku":"698147087680","price":1019.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/698147087680.jpg?v=1777964353","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-th\/products\/698147087680","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
