Legacy[edit]

In order, bonus track "Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré (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.

Bassist Bernhard Paganotti and keyboardist Patrick Gauthier formed their own zeuhl band, Weidorje, in 1977.
