Legacy
The title track, Kobaïa, has been played as a regular part of Magma concerts since its recording, although in a more jazzy version more akin to that of the version on Live/Hhai.
This album is not a completely Zeuhl album. It, along with their second album 1001° Centigrades, is more of a straight jazz fusion effort, although it still shows a lot of the future Zeuhl sound.
