Editing Magma (band) (section)

=== Reformation (1996–present) ===
While performing as Offering, Vander would occasionally perform Magma songs. In 1989, professional snooker champion [[Steve Davis]] convinced Vander to perform a reunion tour (at least six shows<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/184299707883_/Magma-Gig-paper-flyers-set-of-5.jpg|title=Magma Flyers 1|access-date=5 May 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/VGcAAOSwm3lb2xbM/s-l400.jpg|title=Magma Flyers 2|access-date=5 May 2021}}</ref>) which led Vander to consider reuniting Magma.<ref>{{Cite web|title=FORBIDDING PLANET|url=https://recordcollectormag.com/articles/forbidding-planet|access-date=5 May 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Magma's Retrospektïẁ, Reviewed By Snooker's Steve Davis|date=21 November 2017 |url=https://thequietus.com/articles/23627-magma-retrospectiw-reissue-album-review-steve-davis|access-date=5 May 2021}}</ref>

After the dissolution of Offering, this was fully realised in 1996 after friend Bernard Ivan asked Vander if he was considering reviving Magma, as he was confident he could get Vander concert dates. Vander agreed, but confessed that he didn't think there would be any remaining interest in the band. Ivan came back to Vander to tell him he fully booked a number of gigs for Magma and Vander, surprised, quickly cobbled a lineup from Offering and friends in the music scene to create a new 14-piece Magma.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.furious.com/perfect/magma2.html|title=Christian Vander interview|date=January 2001|access-date=24 May 2021}}</ref>

Vander decided to revive some sections of tracks he had written back in 1972-1973 while working on ''Köhntarkösz'' on this new tour. Eventually, these merged into one big composition ''[[K.A (Köhntarkösz Anteria)]]'', which released in 2004 to acclaim and surprise at their comeback. ''K.A'' is conceptually the prequel to ''Köhntarkösz'', which was then followed up by a sequel ''[[Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré]]'' in 2009, ending a narrative trilogy between the three albums.

On 30 September 2022 Magma released their fifteenth album ''[[Kartëhl]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://bravewords.com/news/magma-to-release-kartehl-album-this-month |title=Magma to Release ''Kartëhl'' Album This Month |work=Brave Words |date=1 September 2022 |access-date=26 September 2022}}</ref> The album is a collective work of the band members.
