bumping this thread, appart from the Ae collabs what releases would you recommend for a total hafler trio noob ?

 

"Intoutof" :

anyone ever seen/read that book of his? i'm kinda intrigued...

(though still, after all these years, i don't know if i find his stuff brilliant or utter bullshit. probably both.)

https://simplysuperior.bandcamp.com/

and is selling some of the old stuff in digital form here

I'm under EXACTLY the same viewpoint also after many many years of hearing h3o works !

As far as I'm aware the stuff on Bandcamp is just interviews (I think all led by Andrew), there's no music in them (I don't think anyway). I would be interested in the video stuff but it's waaaaayy overpriced (IIRC they're about $25 for an SD video, or sometimes not even a video just DTS audio)

yessss @prdctvsm

He's def brilliant imo, though a bit of an ass.

Also yeah plenty of music on the bandcamp.

This is the one I intend to excavate over the next year

https://simplysuperior.bandcamp.com/album/spiral

it was a bunch of mixtapes of obscure audio ephemera they put out over the years. If you click on an individual one you can see the tracks:

Woah curious to know what that is ... 24 x 45 minute recordings of something. I wish he'd be a little less precious and offer previews of more of the bandcamp stuff. (can't think why you were interested in that particular album )

recommended reading: a new, long, in-depth interview with mckenzie

 I took the day off today so naturally I listened to my korm plastics reissue of “A Thirsty Fish” quite loud for the first time in quite a while. (Years.) I had quite the experience with the last piece, “An Elderly Testament”. This piece, ugh. It’s perfect. 

Today I busted out “the name of someone” and listened to Kuklos. This is one of the most vast lynchian in another dimension sounding pieces of his I’ve heard.

I've been a Hafler fan for 20 years now, and I think A Thirsty Fish might be the best thing they've/he've ever done
