Autechre the hafler trio

yeah, it is.

Hafler Trio and Merzbow shouldn't even really be considered music, but they're both really excellent anyways

when did chris watson leave?

not long after the first album. mid 80s.

i really would love to hear more of the hafler trio (as of now I've only heard the autechre collab, which i love) but it's way too hard to find any

Vamos, get Kill the King

Kill the King, and Thirsty Fish are probably my favorite LPs by him. I don't really find any of the stuff he put out past 2000 to be worth the price of admission. download these ones first to check them out.

hafler stuff pops up on ebay all the time. not that hard to find if you look for it. id say his trilogy from the 90s is probably the best work ive heard. "kill the king", "mastery of money" an "how to reform mankind".

and if youre going to download, try to get them in flac.

sorry for the necro. can someone re-up the diem lecture? seems andy made them take it down.

I feel like I need a special atmosphere to listen to Hafler Trio, thus I rarely listen to any of his (their) (its) music.

Haha yes, Andrew utterly despises mp3s due to the reduction in fidelity, even in higher bitrates. I guess it's especially important for him considering the metaphysical aspect of his work.

any word on what hes up to these days? hows his health? hard to get any info at all since he decided to essentially abandon the internet.

He hasn't abandoned the internet. He replies swiftly to questions directed to him via Simply Superior.

Last Sunday (hello topic bump, how you doing ?!) I was feeling really hungover so put on the Exactly As I Say, Do, Am trilogy on my laptop and drifted back off to sleep again. I woke up halfway through Exactly As I Do feeling a lot better and turned the volume up pretty loud and realised that behind all the drones was like a really ambient equivalent of VHS Head type music, like 100s of mini 1980s tracks all chopped up and reverbed into a lovely spectral mush - It was the most amazingly detailed thing I'd ever heard. Then I woke up properly and found out that it was all a dream and it was just the PaulStretch type drones that I heard all along, and I'd temporarily lost most of my eyesight from waking up with a migraine

a good friend collects his stuff and has a fair amount of it

he is a clever fucker if obtuse

great interview. worth a watch.

what stuff of his involves stephen stapleton (nurse with wound)? because i think i wanna check all of that out. pretty much perfect collaborators, those two.

yeah i'd especially love to hear a collaboration before either of them were total dieties i feel NWW's later work too suffers from just putting out too many rushed sameish releases.

rob, have you read the book 'england's hidden reverse'? if not, you'd love it. a history of NWW/coil/current 93/whitehouse.

i have not, i probably will read it at some point.

i remember reading that they did a collaboration in the early 90s called 'the hafler trio plays nurse with wound.' apparently stapleton wasnt happy with it so it ended up being released as 'the hafler trio plays.'
