much of "Udu Wudu" was recorded with Janik Top on Bass and
Michel Graillier on keys, though these guys - as far as I
can figure, were not part of the touring band at this time.

NOTES: Recorded during the early sessions for "Merci", this track
appeared on the compilation "Enneade" which sought to prove
the importance of Magma's contribution to French rock through
other artists they have influenced. Other featured artists
include Eskaton, Troll, Xalph, Francois Cahen, Y.Seffer,
Eider Stellaire, Shub Niggurath, Paga, Univers Zero, Altais,
Farben, Musique Noise.
Incidentally, this is the only Magma track I know of where
Christian Vander does not play or sing. This compilation was
first released on LP in 1987, then reissued on CD with three
bonus tracks in 1990.

NOTES: During this period recording of Merci began. This probably
represents several lineup changes, as A & Y Guillard are
featured nowhere on "Merci", but a lot of session musicians
were used who weren't part of the regular lineup. During the
82-84 period there was a constant high rate of turnover.
