Magma had disbanded for a year after the release of their 1976 album Üdü Ẁüdü, before reuniting under the new musical direction, with a more accessible sound. Some songs on this album – such as "Rindë" - as well as some from Live/Hhaï (1975) and Üdü Ẁüdü – are incorporated into the compositions of the band's 2009 album Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré.
