ARTIST: HAFLER TRIO
TITLE: Cleave: 9 Great Openings
LABEL: NEXTERA

DESCRIPTION: The Hafler Trio's brand new studio album named "Cleave: 9
Great Openings" being released as "Part The First" of the Trilogy.  ?Part
The Second" will be released next year on Die Stadt and "Part The Third"
will follow later on Nextera.  CD album is packed in "deluxe" embossed
paper wallet with special transparent wrap-around.  "Cleave: Nine Great
Openings" is the first new CD release by H3O since
'Hljodmynd' released in 2000 on Die Stadt  (though the material on this
was already recorded in 1995).
Cleave is a 60 minute piece which slowly changes, with a very wide sound,
low and very resonant.  It's *almost* ambient or 'meditative music' with
very special atmosphere, and a few suprises. Source material for this
album was recorded in 1999 for Andrew's friend's wedding ceremony in
Nepal.  We are sure that many people / fans eagerly await this new work
(trilogy) by Andrew Mark McKenzie which is truely exceptional. This set of
recordings shows that there's life in the old dog yet and it isn't quite
buried.
