Hula - 1000 Hours

Here is more from the superb Hula.In theory Hula only recorded three albums proper, but many would agree that 1000 Hours is more than just a compilation of live and session work. This double album is formed from a powerful and energetic live performance at The Melkweg in Amsterdam in early 1985, four session tracks from Dutch radio station VPRO, and one side of new experimental recordings laid down in the studio during the tour.

Sides one and two are from the mixing desk at the Melkweg gig and show just how well Hula transferred their layered and powerful industrial beats onto the live stage. The band's live sound engineer was Mark Estdale who went onto form the equally good Workforce. Side three is dedicated to the VPRO session which features the excellent Big Heat and Sour Eden. Side four is much more textural and experimental with four atmospheric works recorded at Richard Zeilstra's studio in Holland.

Ripped from a double vinyl album released on Red Rhino Records (REDLP 63) in 1986 to high quality lossless FLAC audio.
