Magma is the self-titled debut album by French rock band Magma. Released as a double-LP in 1970, it is a concept album which tells the story of a group of people fleeing a doomed Earth to settle on the fictional planet Kobaïa. Except for the first song, which is sung in English, all lyrics are sung in the Kobaïan language invented by the band. Although initially self-titled, the album was later reissued under the name Kobaïa.
