In light of the rules about unauthorized albums here, the Magma compilation "Spiritual" should be removed - it's a bootleg. Not too sure about "Uber Kommandoh" either, but I know for certain that "Spiritual" is not authorized by the band!

Spiritual is in something of a grey area - like Gong, the rights to some of Magma's albums are owned by (I believe) Charly records, which means the band gets no royalties from the releases. Not actually illegal, apparently, but it ought to be.
Anyway, Spiritual is a poor quality compilation of 'Live/Hhai' 'Udu Wudu' and 'Attahk', which appears to have been released by Snapper, apparently a subsidiary of Charly (it appears on Charly's website here http://www.snappermusic.com/Labels/Charly/Artists/Magma/item10337?startPos)...
Magma themselves have disowned this release, and urged fans not to buy it. If the album remains on this site (and Gong's Charly releases do, so I suppose this should as well) perhaps some message about its dubious status could be included.

I added a warning of some sort to the releases information.

That sounds reasonable enough!
