Terrific early work

"This is both sides of the "Alternation, Perception and Resistance" EP plus a bunch of unreleased stuff of remarkably high quality. I bought this for the EP and got a whole new album of early Hafler material. The drone pieces (layered tones) are particularly fine."
Kind of the second Hafler trio recording

"All depends on how you look at it. Chris Watson is still on this one, and it always sounded much more cohesive and professional then their excellent debut "Bang! An open letter". Great recording, not "The hafler trio play the hafler trio" but not much is. "Jenseits" even has a drone that does indeed tune within western temperament, it sounds like Watson's old "no escape" period Farfisa. And the comprehension excercise is brilliant. If you are not familiar at all with experimental music seek these out, I can personally gurantee you that you have never heard anything remotely like them."
