Unfortunately listed as a Vander solo album, Wurdah Itah is one of the most beautifull and magic Magma records.

Composed by Christian Vander and performed by the core of the band Magma this opus represents the 2^rd movement of the trilogy " Theusz Hamtaak " (1rd movement " Theusz Hamtaak ", 3^rd movement " Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh ").

These three movements have been recorded randomly.

First used as soundtrack of the film "Tristan et Iseult " (Yvan Lagrange) Wurdah Itah " sounds " very accoustic : piano, bass, the wonderfull and precise drum and the voices, voices, voices…

Expurgated and clean (no horns for example) this is anyway a great and typical " Magma material " !
