Udü Wüdü (Remastered)

by MAGMA

supported by

Frank Hadlich Definitive milestone of 70ies progressive rock&jazz Favorite track: De Futura.

Jordan Vauvert Je ne suis pas suffisamment versé dans la pratique du langage kobaïen pour déterminer le propos exact de Üdü Ẁüdü mais les titres "Tröller Tanz" et "Soleil d'Ork" m'évoquent des histoires de créatures fantastiques tribales dotées d'intelligence (même le titre de l'album d'ailleurs), d'autant plus que les pistes ont toutes des structures répétitives qui invitent à entrer dans une forme de transe rituelle. MAGMA prend encore plus de libertés et s'affranchit du langage.

CrimzonZephyr Magma sounding even more celestial and melodic than before, with some killer rhythm to boot. Solid distorted bass tone! Favorite track: Weidorje.

about

UDU WUDU (1976) saw the return of Jannick TOP to the heart of MAGMA, a reunion desired passionately by Christian VANDER, who asked Jannick to collaborate as co-leader in the creation of this record. The new MAGMA line-up not being final at the time the recording took place, the basics of the work were laid down by VANDER and TOP, who besides their usual instruments brilliantly integrated the keyboard parts into the tracks. The musical voyage into which they draw us is performed in two sections, the first containing short pieces with diverse atmospheres and styles, which use the brass and flutes of the early albums, and the the second comprising the 18 minute composition by Jannick TOP, DE FUTURA. Completely dfferent in apearance, the two sections are in fact complementary, the first being designed to put the listener in the most receptive state of mind before the arrival of the music cataclysm represented by DE FUTURA. A monumental work, this piece generates, by means of the titanic force of the bass and drums, an incredible power which gives it the unquestionable status of a mythic work.

about

MAGMA France

In 1970 an explosive compound of a cavernous bass and a hammering beat erupted from our record players, as an otherworldly voice chanted in a mysterious language. Thus began a first, double album, simply entitled Magma. Its strangeness and creative force meant that Magma’s landmark debut immediately guaranteed them a place in music history. ... more

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
