Initially released under Christian Vander's name as a soundtrack studio album for Yvan Lagrange's 1972 avant-garde film Tristan et Iseult [Egg 90.171], it was re-released on Magma's label Seventh Records in 1989 with the Magma logo on its cover, and is generally regarded as a Magma album.
Ẁurdah Ïtah (which translates from Kobaïan roughly as "Dead Earth") is the second part of the Theusz Hamtaahk trilogy.
Although credited solely to Magma’s percussive high priest Christian Vander, this soundtrack from a film version of the tragic love and death myth of Tristan and Isolde is practically a Magma album as three other members of that mighty French ensemble appear alongside Vander: vocalist ‘Tauhd Zaia Uniweria Zekt’ (Stella Vander), vocalist and percussionist ‘Klotsz Zaspiaahk Uniweria Zekt’ (Klaus Blasquiz) and the tiny yet mighty ‘Wahrgenuhr Reugehlem Esteh’ (Jannick Top) on bass. Released between “Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh” and “Kohntarkosz,” “Tristan et Yseult” barely sounds like anything four mortals could ever create (let alone record) in three days time.
