This supergroup of the late 1970's took its name from a track on Magma - Üdü Ẁüdü (the word meaning "celestial wheel" in the fictional Kobaïan language) which involved Bernard Paganotti and Patrick Gauthier. The rest of the band involved some of the busiest session talent on the Paris scene at the time. Weidorje was indeed very Magma styled, yet it also blended in elements of systemic music, and brass (an element long ago dropped in early Magma) giving it a distinctive sound of its own. Sessions for a second album exist, but were never completed. A few live recordings also exist, of which two tracks feature as bonus on the CD reissue of their album. Virtually everyone involved in Weidorje went on to other projects and/or released solo albums shortly after Weidorje's demise. « hide |
