Weidorje | id

Weidorje (pronounced VAY-dorj) were a French band that was a shortlived offshoot of Magma. Their sole selftitled album was released in 1978. Their name is Kobaïan for "Celestial Wheel" (which might explain the UFO on the cover?) and was taken from a song from Magma's Üdü Wüdü album (which is the most similar album to Weidorje's sole release). One could almost describe it as the ultimate bass guitar album, though it owes a strong debt to Magma for the operatic vocals and seems to also drawn on Magma's subtle John Coltrane influences. The band was formed by bassist Bernard Paganotti...
