Üdü Wüdü is the sixth studio album by French progressive rock band Magma. It was released in 1976. Christian Vander later said that Üdü Wüdü could be regarded as Jannick Top's solo album, because of the number of Top's compositions on the album.[citation needed]

[edit] Legacy
Parts of this album, including the tracks "Emehnteht-Re (extrait no. 2)" and "Zombies", along with "Rinde" from Attahk are included on the Magma composition Ëmëhntëhtt-Rê.
The track "De Futura" originally took up the entire side 2 of the album and is considered a landmark of Zeuhl and progressive rock, being covered by numerous bands as well as being a staple of Magma and Jannick Top concerts.
Bassist Bernhard Paganotti and keyboardist Patrick Gauthier formed their own Zeuhl band, Weidorje, in 1976.
