Weidorje - Weidorje 1978

Weidorje is a progressive rock/fusion/Zeuhl band from France, that was formed in 1976. The band split up around 1979. This supergroup of the late 1970s took its name from a track on Magma - Üdü Ẁüdü which involved Bernard Paganotti and Patrick Gauthier. The rest of the band involved some of the busiest session talents 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.

Although Weidorje existed for a few years they only completed one album. Sessions for a second album exist but were never completed. A few live recordings also exist, of which two tracks feature as bonuses 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.
