“This recording is based on the suggestions (direct or indirect) made personally by many people, of whom the most important are: Annie Spinkle/Anya, Willem De Ridder, Mr. Ronald, Michael von Hausswolff, Helena Åberg, Berglind Hafsteindóttir, Joseph Kramer, Beatrice Eggers, Marion Delforge, Jon Wozencroft, Ingrid Willemse, Leif Elggren, John Duncan, Mike Harding, Alisa/Gorta, Adi Newton, Teresa Castello, Steven Stapleton, Saskia Wolda, Genesis P-Orridge, and last but not least, an unknown woman in a VD clinic in Amsterdam. All other ideas fermented within the collective enchanted loom of the H3O. Back cover photograph of the neophyte his very self during the induction phase of this project by the man who failed to look like a lobster, Carl Abrahamsson. Front cover photo by the Goddess of the photographic arts (and who knows what else?) Annika Söderholm. Other photos by Qvé Thet (for it is he). Hafler Trio Logo by Mark O. Sleeve grounding: Suitcase Studios (falling roof devision). Design by Jon Wozencroft (art?work). Thanks are due to all those whose reality tunnels have meshed with ours, and below it all, 100% support in all things and all ways. To those who will never hear this — “my house has many rooms”.

Dedicated to Monique von Cleef and Ciro Imarco (who knows if they will ever know why). FUCK was mixed at Studio Syrland, Reykavik, STEIM and Suitcase Studios, Amsterdam, by A.M.McKenzie, Zbigniew Karkowski and Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson. This recording is designed to be played at maximum volume, believe it or not. It is important that your CD player is in strict accordance with left and right channel connections: otherwise we cannot be held responsible for the (inevitable) consequences!”

Notes: “This recording utilises elements from various pieces, most being initiated with this project in mind, amongst which are: Psychological Astronomy – Psychophysicist (Newton, McKenzie), The Threat That Cannot Be Obeyed – The Hafler Trio (McKenzie, Karkowski), SPIRICOM – The Hafler Trio (McKenzie, Karkowski), Tesselation – The Hafler Trio (McKenzie, Karkowski), A Luna Kanula – Asburd (McKenzie, Ponton), I Remain, Yours… – The Hafler Trio (McKenzie, Karkowski), Tantric Resonance – The Anti Group (Newton, Baker, Dennis), The Ames Room – The Hafler Trio (McKenzie), Imsak – The Hafler Trio (McKenzie). Every other sound was constructed especially for this Goddess Ritual accompaniment.

Design: Jon Wozencroft. Much more that thanks are due to Annie, Ellen and Anya for above all, faith. To all everywhere – “we’re all somebody’s baby”. Dedicated to Marthe (she’ll know why – eventually).”

Track list:

1. Redintegrate

NO IS FOR NOISE REDUCTION

Since 1953, The Hafler Trio has continued to implement the disuputed findings of the acoustic researcher Robert Spridgeon. ‘Redintegrate’ is a compendium of details taken from recordings made since that time, many of which are included more extensively than on [the above releases]. Each bears out Spridgeon’s deposition: ‘Until man can learn to set himself from himself, what he is from what he does, there can be no real hope of creation’.

Redintegrate was sponsored by EDGAR RODGERS and The Bureaux Clothing Group, established in 1982. The cassette, which was packaged in a Magnam Products Microcase, contained a folded card [see above] and, separately, with 3 postcards by Panni Charrington. Design: Jon Wozencroft
