christian vander, the founder of magma, invented
a language, kobaian, because he felt that existing
languages could not be used in the manner he desired,
which is a very operatic choral style.

it can drive you up a wall REALLY fast if you are
not in the right mood for it... and it doesn't help
that it's often sung by klaus blasquiz, a man of
amazing vocal range that he often uses to its
fullest...
