'It was 1974 when Magma's fourth studio album W`urdah Itah came out. Originally, the album was released under the name of Tristan Et Iseult as a solo studio film soundtrack by founding member Christian Vander. He recorded the music for Yvan Lagrange's 1872 avant garde film Tristan Et Iseult. The recordings took place only a month prior to the sessions which produced Kohntarkosz. For these recordings for W`urdah Itah, only a core quartet of Magma members took part, including Christian Vander, Jannick Top, Klaus Blasquiz and Stella Vander providing only drums, bass, piano and vocals. Fifteen years later, in 1989, the album was re-released with Magma's distinctive logo. W`urdah Itah is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on purple colored vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.
