Üdü Ẁüdü is the sixth studio album by French zeuhl band Magma, released September 10, 1976.

The very first issue of this album was issued with a provisional sleeve, as Klaus Blasquiz's artwork was not finished on time. This art features in all later issues.

Legacy[]

In order, bonus track "Ëmëhntëht-Rê (extrait no. 2)", "Hhaï" (from live album Live/Hhaï), and "Zombies", were incorporated into the Magma composition Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré, constituting the entirety of "Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré II".[4]

Bassist Jannick Top re-recorded his compositions "Soleil d'Ork" and "De Futura" for his 2001 debut solo album Soleil d'Ork.[5]
