The Hafler Trio

*500 copies limited edition* After more than four years in the works, I am beyond elated to announce the release of ballastnvp067: The Hafler Trio: If Take, Then Take: Tricks, Half-Tricks & Real Phenomena (2 x CD, DVD, cards, and enamel pin in custom fabricated box). I originally released If Take, Then Take: Tricks, Half-Tricks & Real Phenomena in 2005 as a vinyl record, and it didn’t go off without a hitch or two. (In the end, I played almost every copy prior to sending it to a customer or dist…

2024 stock. “Intoutof” (say “Into out of”) is one of the The Hafler Trio’s most defining recordings. This 1998 reissue, coming ten years after the original date of release of the LP (and eight years after the first CD edition), reminds us of the power and mystery that have made The Hafler Trio such a respected and influential group. When KK Records first issued “Intoutof” on vinyl in 1988 they found that the program length was too long to fit onto an LP. Their solution was quite unique: They ran…

2024 stock. An Utterance of the Supreme Ventriloquist was originally issued by Soleilmoon in 1996 in a hand-numbered edition of 451 clear vinyl Lps. This edition comes nine years later and it’s being released for the first time on compact disc. “Utterance” consists of two 21-minute pieces, “Placing the Seed” and “Seeding the Place”. It’s psychedelic head-trip that reaches a similar plane of consciousness occupied by Nurse With Wound. The material has been completely remastered for maximum digita…

The Hafler Trio's double LP Idiots: Laughing Matter, years in the making and seeded with early material by Wire's Bruce Gilbert: four long sides of slow, dark drones, spoken passages and sudden loud bursts. Embossed metallic Pantone jackets.

Original 1995 release. Kurt Dahlke, Christiina Kubisch, :zoviet*france:, Asmus Tietchens, Andrew McKenzie, Philip Jeck,

* * Much-needed 2023 Reissue * * Drone: as with anything else that rarely changes, it's necessary to latch onto subtleties. What minimal suggestion put forth by a drone is so easily applied to pretty much any impression you might have that, predictably, describing one often leads to vague subjectivities bordering on bad poetry. And as much as I'd love to go around proclaiming my love for "deeply resonant, holy abysses" (not), I wish there were an easier way to communicate the real power of the t…

Tip! Genesis P-Orridge and The Hafler Trio: do these 2 legends still need any introduction? Genesis P-Orridge was the founding person of COUM Transmissions in 1969, Throbbing Gristle in 1975, Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth and Psychic TV in 1981. Andrew McKenzie started The Hafler Trio (together with Cabaret Voltaire's Chris Watson) in 1982 and since then released all his work under this moniker and collaborated with William S. Burroughs, Autechre, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Nurse With Wound and Jónsi fr…

*Limited Edition of 200 copies.* Autopsia is a cult art project dealing with music and visual production. Its art practice began in London in the late 1970s and continued during the 1980s in the art centers of the former Yugoslavia. Since 1990, Autopsia has acted from Prague, Czech Republic. Above all Autopsia is not concerned with music. What is Autopsia? Art? Theory? Framing? Projection? Gaze? Autopsia is language is image is sound. Autopsia is atombstone on the grave of time. Autopsia is arch…

Recorded during an evening organized by the Die Stadt label on the 28th of March 1997 at the Lagerhaus in Bremen (Germany). Originally released as limited and numbered edition of 222 copies.

Reptilicus (Guðmundur I. Markússon and Johann Eiriksson) met industrialist extraordinaire and only constant member of The Hafler Trio, Andrew M. McKenzie, in 1991 when he was visiting Iceland with artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff. This was the beginning of a fruitful collaboration which lasted for several years. During this period, McKenzie moved to Iceland where he lived for over a decade, having a considerable influence on the Icelandic experimental and electronic scene, among them artists s…

A set of four "rituals" (plus one locked groove) using four voices for four very different purposes, all on two 10" clear vinyl records with gatefold sleeve, shadows, and titles. It uses some new techniques for voice processing developed by The Hafler Trio within the last two years, based on the properties of resonances of voices to affect acoustic space, and the meaning behind The Utterance. Something to hand down to the grandchildren.  This amazing album was packaged in a luxurios gatefold jac…

Pan Sonic, arranged and edited by Barry Adamson, with an additional re-arrangement by The Hafler Trio. Here, Barry Adamson and Pan Sonic have composed a 12-minute music piece that is performed by the Hljomeyki Choir and Pan Sonic.

Friends edition limited to 99 copies on clear vinyl. This very special Box-Release containing almost four hours of Hafler Trio archive recordings, recorded between 1987 and 1999 gives a great opportunity to dig into the universe of music-mastermind, multi-talent and concept-art genious Andrew Mc Kenzie. His electronic/drone/ambient/music concrete-like music-output as Hafler Trio / H3O has not officially released on vinyl or CD up to this point. In 2012 Frank of VOD went through a whole pallet of…

Ever since the days of Leonin and Perotin, people have been trying to pin down that special something that makes music so unique, with Andrew McKenzie of The Hafler Trio more ardent than most in his perusal. The lavishly packaged 5th instalment in this highly limited edition series of EP's, 'Being a Firefighter Isn't Just About Squirting Water' comprises a single 20 minute composition that is a dictionary definition of delicacy. Building upwards from spectral entities, …

Original copy on Touch, packaged in large card wallet with 36 page booklet. This was the first CD by The Hafler Trio. Ignotium Per Ignotius stands for unknown to the very unknown, which is as much a mystery as the other Hafler Trio CD with a Latin title from that period "E Causa Ignota" — by unknown cause). Releases by The Hafler Trio are never "easy listening" and Ignotum Per Ignotia no exception. This is a brief CD (clocking in at 36 minutes), which for once is a good thing, as there is much t…

It's the drug of the common man! why, it keeps the wheels of industry flowing to make sure that he has a home to come to, earned and paid for by his labours! why dont you, the rich, privileged, indulge in a journey that (trust me) money can't buy! and send a postcard to your friends!

Originally released on CD by Touch and never re-issued. The seventh re-issue in the Hafler Trio re-issue series Seven Hours Sleep. Something approached, and it was embraced, thorns piercing the anonymous functions and the ways in which all the secrets had been help in high esteem. traces of the places yet to come, and those to be left far behind. the first outing in the digital domain, and all the difference the day made when it appeared, startling those in need of a jolly good lie down. and so …
