Mekanïk Kommandöh is an album by French Progressive rock group Magma. It was recorded in 1973, but not released until 1989. The album consists of an early version of the band's classic record Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh (1973). Unlike the final released version, this alternate take features a more raw, stripped-down mix that pushes the drums upfront and does not contain the horns and other melodic instruments. At the time, Magma's record label refused to publish this version.[1] It also includes a doom-leaden (and henceforth discarded) introduction delivered by Christian Vander. Originally released on the label Seventh, but has since been reissued on Akt X – Mekanïk Kommandöh (1989).
