Haack, Bruce - Haackula (special)
SKU
11-Omni 117
"Bruce Haack's 'Haackula' is the record you've dreamt of and the stuff of nightmares. Deemed to be too dark and offensive for release when it was recorded in 1978 and bootlegged ever since, this is the first official release of Haackula. Haack's anger with society is palpable as he hisses and cusses his way over elastic electronic backings. Imagine a very, very bummed-out Kraftwerk scowling as they play childlike melodies and sing under their breath of fear and abandonment. Also included for the first time is Haack's extraordinary 1982 collaboration with Russell Simmons on the track 'Party Machine' and the incredible 32-minute soundscape of 'Icarus' from 1979. All tracks make their first official release here and are lovingly remastered from the original tapes. Includes liner notes, photos and full lyrics. Often bootleged, (incomplete with an incorrect track-list and much inferior sound quality may we add!) The dark jewel that is Haackula now sees the light of day in this deluxe premiere edition. Strap in, and let Haackula sink its teeth into you!"
