French music legends Magma have released a new remastered version of their critically acclaimed 1974 album\u201cWurdah \u00cftah\u201d on CD! The release includes for the first time, \u201cWurdah \u00cftah Prima Materia,\u201d the Original Demo used for the soundtrack to the film \u201cTristan & Iseult.\u201d <\/div>\n
\u201cWinter 1971. Between two series of concerts, we are pacing in circles like caged animals. Georgio Gomelsky senses the tension in the air and decides to book the little Chappell studio for us for a few days in order to release our pent-up energy. On 3 January 1972, Klaus Blasquiz, Jean-Pierre Lembert, Ren\u00e9 ‘Stund\u00ebhr’ Garber and I enter the studio. Despite the many imperfections of this recording, it remains an essential document to understand the origin of ‘Wurdah \u00cftah’ and to feel our frenzy at the time.\u201d – Christian Vander 1974<\/div>\n

\u201cWurdah \u00cftah\u201d was recorded in April 1974, just one month before the sessions which produced \u201cKohntarkosz.\u201d It forms the second movement of \u201cTheusz Hamtaahk,\u201d an epic work in three movements of which \u201cMekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh,\u201d recorded a year earlier by Magma, forms the final part. Performed by the core players in Magma at that time – Christian Vander (piano, drums, vocals), Jannick Top (bass), Klaus Blasquiz (vocals, percussion) and Stella Vander (vocals) – \u201cWurdah \u00cftah\u201d is music stripped down to its bare essence. Although a total contrast to the splendour and orchestral power of \u201cM.D.K.,\u201d it nevertheless has just as great rhythmic power and surprising vocal lyricism, unquestionably marked by the claws of Magma!<\/div>\n
