Mekanïk Destruktïẁ Kommandöh, also abbreviated as MDK, is the third studio album by French rock band Magma, released on 6 May 1973. The album marks a shift away from the jazz style of the band's first two albums, encompassing progressive rock, contemporary classical, avant-garde music, funk and gospel in it's musical style.[1][2] Magma's original recording of the composition that makes up the album was refused by the record company at the time, but was eventually released as Mekanïk Kommandöh in 1989.

[de] Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh

Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh ist das 1973 als Langspielplatte (LP) erschienene dritte und wohl bekannteste Album der französischen Progressive-Rock-Band Magma. Das Album, ein zentrales Werk der Gruppe, ist eine einzige zusammengehörige Komposition von Bandleader und Schlagzeuger Christian Vander, auch wenn es in verschiedene Abschnitte unterteilt ist. Die Komposition ist der (als erster veröffentlichte) dritte Satz der Trilogie Theusz Hamtaahk[1] und wurde von Magma in verschiedenen Studio- und Live-Versionen veröffentlicht. Die Texte sind komplett in der von Vander und Sänger Klaus Blasquiz entwickelten Kunstsprache „Kobaïanisch“ verfasst und sind Teil des Mythos von Kobaïa, von dem alle Magma-Alben handeln.
