Hi, I think the CD is called Treshold. I have the LP tracks are: 1. Fevercar 2. Get the Habit 3. Freeze out 4. Black Wall Blue 5. Big Heat 6. Mother Courage 7. Walk on Stalks of Shattered Glass (version) 8. Tear Up 9. Junshi I remember seeing Hula live at the Paradiso: Video monitors on stage and big screens with 16 mm films. Wonderful experience. The films were largely cut-up/abstract affairs. On stage there was an 8 track reel to reel (I always loved seeing those on stage), Bass player, Keyboard player, Guitarist/Singer with lotsa delay/hold effects for his voice and Alan Fisch with combined drum/percussion set. Can't find 'Murmur' at the moment, but another must have Hula album is 'Voice': it features the gems Give Me Money, See You Tomorrow, Poison and Cut Me Loose Hula recorded for Red Rhino Records. Hearing them now makes me want to buy a Revox, a pair of anti-magnetic scissors and a lot of tape. Hey, there's a discography on the back of the inner sleeve ! shall I post it as well ?

I'm not sure whether this is one of the ones you've mentioned since I can't remember the title and the tape is in manchester, but one of my favourite Hula LPs was the one which had music from an Art Installation (well, that kind of thing). Industrial ambience, of a sort. I bought one Chakk LP to get hold of a particular track I'd been hearing on the radio (about 9-10 years ago) a lot. Unfortunately that was the only good song on it. Some more classics from Wythenshawe library. adam

That would be Shadowland. Red Rhino REDLP71 "A special recording of a unique event: Hula were comissioned by Sheffield City Arts Department to put together a special performance to include certain sound sculptures featured in the Arts Councils touring noise in your eye exhibition This recording is a document of that night" from the back side of the sleeve... there's more, you want me to type it up ? Imagine the Sheffield arts counsil commisioning a piece by, say, LFO ? I was more into the Hula 'songs' myself, but the 'industrial ambience' also has a special place in my heart

Probably "Ten days in an elevator". The Chakk guys actually did better in the nineties, they are now Pork :) (Maybe you knew that...) More nice post-industrial electro-funk: Medium Medium and C-Cat Trance. Especially 'She Steals Cars'. Of course I'm a big A Certain Ratio fan as well...

In 1994 a company from the UK called Anagram Records rereleased this on CD as "The Best Of Hula" with some extra tracks: 10. Ghost rattle 11. Hard stripes 12. Poison (club mix) 13. Give me money 14. Cut me loose 15. Seven sleepers Dunno if this is still available. No worries though, when I got into them I managed to find just about every record they ever made in the second hand bins. While we're talking '80's Sheffield industro-funk (whatever): another record from the same "scene" that deseves attention is Workforce's "Skin scraped back" 12" (of which there used to be multiple copies in the $1 bins), on the Cab's Double Vision label. Heavy bass, lotsa sounds going round, very very groovy. Hey, does anyone know a remedy against a monitor who's colours are all fucked after I accidently passed a magnet over it? The green & red Norton Commander is giving me headaches.
