«Travel! 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! X marks the spot!»
Originally released by Staalplaat as a cassette in 1986 then as a CD in 1990. Revised now, with the proper package.

«DREAMCHINE»
re-release nears completion, to be released by soleilmoon this year — surround-sound, actual dreamachine, the works.

AUTECHRE / H3O #3
the next installment of the enthralling collaboration 'twixt h3o and those likely lads Autechre is ready to see the light of day on Die Stadt and Simply Superior. this should make the previous two glow again with renewed ardour, and provide a couple of answers, but many, many more questions.

PAN SONIC / H3O
steams ahead like an ocean liner. problem is, there is too much good stuff to be released on Die Stadt.
Current status: halted due to lack of funds.

ROBERT HAIGH / H3O
this has found a home with Crouton, another fine and venerable establishment. about 15 mins has been completed, but $DEITY only knows what format it will turn out on. ah well. them's the breaks. as they say. Robert is very happy with things so far.

«EXACTLY AS I SAY.» LE
a rapid learning method devised partly by h3o.
Simply Superior is immensely pleased to announce the immediate availability of what has come to be known in some circles as the j3o Limited Edition, which was previously, curiously under-available in an already wildly satisfying but much slimmer form, the entirety of which is also contained in this widened, lengthened, expanded, much more tactile and strangely fulfilling edition.
Now at last available for the likes of those wanting more than the regular range of product-fixes, after several failed ransom attempts we can proudly release it into the hands for whom it was intended in the first place.
Part of the ongoing, critically acclaimed series of The Hafler Trio recordings entirely constructed from voice, the previous releases have included works derived from the vocal sounds of Blixa Bargeld, David Tibet and Jónsi Birgisson.
This release with Jonsí Birgisson of Sigur Rós is the first of a trilogy of works from their collaboration, the second part, «EXACTLY AS I DO» is also released on the U.S. imprint Important Records.
The DVD which comes with this edition has dolby 5.1 and DTS versions of a piece not included in the «standard» edition, and two videos, all of which is not released elsewhere.

«AN ANSWER»
is the title of a new h3o piece of the total length about an hour composed «entirely of elements (or well, elephants)» from ep.3 «ALLURE» of Fovea Hex «Neither Speak Nor Remain Silent» project. The previous h3o pieces for ep.1 «BLOOM» and ep.2 «HUGE» were entitled The Explanation and The Discussion, respectively.

«WHO GAVE YOU THE ABILITY TO ENVISAGE PERFECTION?»
is the title of the new The Hafler Trio 7" published by Plinkity Plonk end of March 2007.
«when we make a room ready, it's not a given that the appointment will be kept. furthermore, what used to happen in the old days, and will now start to happen again, is that random visitors will appear. it's only natural after all....»


THE DEATH AND BEAUTY FOUNDATION
present on CD the legendary "Darlington Tapes" recorded in 1982. At last, the sound of Val Denham and Andrew M. McKenzie's long awaited avant garde masterpiece for the bewildered is available after 26 years. Remastered, frightening and beautiful. The strangest album ever recorded. You have been warned.

SIMPLY SUPERIOR
I am pleased, no, delighted, no, *thrilled* to announce the accessibility of Simply Superior's website. blood, sweat, tears, laughter, learning, bruises, twisted ankles and the Manifestation of the Ineffable were all involved in the construction, and for this we are truly thankful. we suffered for our art. and now it's your turn.
please, direct your highest quality attention, at your leisure to: www.simplysuperior.org
we have endeavoured to make this site accessible to the widest range of computers and viewing software, and have included many twists and hard-to notice features.
I wish to thank, from the bottom of my being, munnin, xef4, and anjey for their efforts on SS's behalf.
I believe that this project shows the possibility of something realisable and actual in a world that has been told that these things are not valid.
I wish that the aims will be commensurate with your own.

«NU GÅR VI» («NOW WE GO»)
february 2006: h3o has just returned from London where the first rough cut of a film entitled «nu går vi» has been completed, with soundtrack by the Hafler Trio and some up-and-coming young talent named Frederic Chopin. in about a month the final thing will be assembled at Pinewood Studios in England, and thereafter put on general release. the film was shot on the relatively new HD format, and it has to be said that the picture quality is nothing short of breathtaking. more information about the company that has made the film is at zikzira.com

THE LAST "CONVENTIONAL" H3O APPEARANCE EVER
On Friday 22nd June 2007, the hafler trio will be filling in for KK Null, who has suffered personal tragedy. This will be the last "conventional" h3o appearance *ever*. Details of the new possibilities will appear soon here and at www.emergency.no
...is cancelled due to organisational incompetence.

TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
technologically, the h3o is in an impoverished state. anyone wishing to help with this, please write personally to h3o at triamazikamno.com. this is not to do with audio, but video/computers.

PHONOMETROGRAPHY
Wayne Carlsen is currently selling off large quantities of stock at cost price on eBay in job lots. It must be obvious as previously stated that this also means there is no intention (or possibility at this price) that payment will be made to h3o for the royalties due on this material.
You are therefore urged NOT to buy from him, his eBay ID is: phono225
