Just a few days ago by chance I was searching my notes for the word 'magma' (for unrelated reasons) and it matched an article by The New Yorker on Ithkul that I had saved years before, which mentions a french progrock band called Magma having had an influence on Quijada as a teenager with their chant opera and theatrical performances sung in an invented German-like language. It's funny the first time I read through that article I didn't pay any mind to it. Now I'm in love with Magma's MDK album these days, so thanks Ithkul.
Not the same url as submitter but there was a previous discussion about the New Yorker article:
