ERRORS THREAD Report Errors and Omissions Here

But I updated http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=14329 with track times and corrected a funny typo: Abelene instead of Abilene! Well, it's more funny in French: Abelene sounds somewhat like "baleine", and it means whale... 

Not a biggie really but I think the year of release for La Vieille Que L'On Brûla by Ripaille was 1978 (not 1977)

Thanks, fixed! 

It was first released under the Magma name in 1989, not 2015, and has always been part Magma’s Theusz Hamtaahk trilogy. As far as I’m aware it has always been regarded as a Magma album, even while it was released under Vander’s name. I have read, but don’t know how true this is, that it was intended to be released as a Magma album with the Wurdah Itah title, but because of complications regarding its use as a soundtrack, it ended up under Vander’s name.

I definitely have always felt it is wrong to have the album listed under Vander here, rather than Magma. It feels to me to be more pedantry than anything else. When Magma created their own record label, Seventh, Wurdah Itah was one of the first Magma albums to be released, to finally put it into Magma’s discography, where Vander felt it belonged, rather than within his own catalogue.

When the band themselves consider it to be a Magma album, it is almost rude to leave it under Vander’s name just because (again, presuming what I’ve read is true) back in the day it was released under that name against the wishes of the band.

[EDIT] My apologies. I went to Discogs, and the 1989 Seventh release has the same artwork as the 2012 Seventh artwork, but is still under the Vander name. I think it is because it has the Magma logo that I wrongly assumed it was released under the Magma name. However, it is clearly Magma by that logo - so much so that I ignored the fact that Vander’s name is over the logo. The artwork is exactly the same otherwise for the 2012 release, which looks to be the first (official) release under the Magma name - so still earlier than 2015, albeit not by much. The 2015 is the one with new cover art.

Even with this faux pas on my part, I still think it makes more sense for it to be under Magma on PA, rather than Vander.

^ Thanks Friederike, I've made some changes for this album. According to Discogs, many editions were made since 1974. The first to have the "Magma" stamp on it was made in 2015, so I think we could keep it under the "Christian Vander" name. But feel free to contact the Zeuhl team if you think I'm wrong.

CD1

CD2

Note: The DVD version has no track timings either, but has a slightly different track running order (tracks 8 & 9 ('Shadow of the Lake' and 'Dear Someone') are reversed from how they are placed on the CD version, and are thus probably edited differently regarding the 'talky bits' in between, so timings may not be exactly the same. The last three songs on the 2CD version are 'bonus tracks', which is already mentioned on our page, but our page for the DVD is missing track 10, "A Song for You", so the last two tracks are numbered wrongly (and both have formatting typos between the numbers and the actual track titles too).
