HULA - Cut from the Inside

Format: CD
Label & Cat.Number: Klanggalerie gg272
Release Year: 2018
Note: HULA from Sheffield, UK (founded in 1981), were one of those exciting bands merging and crossing genres in a unique way: they mixed funky electronics with experimental industrial sounds and 'paranoid singing' and could be seen as counterparts to 23 SKIDOO; this is the re-issue of the very first full album from 1983, now with the "Black Pop Workout" 12 bonus (1982), produced by CHRIS WATSON and STEPHEN MALLINDER (both founding members of CABARET VOLTAIRE)
Price (incl. 19% VAT): €14.00


More Info

Hula were founded in Sheffield in 1981. Three members (Mark Albrow, Alan Fish and Ron Wright) lived with Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire) and Paul Widger (They must be Russians, Clock DVA, the Box) in a villa called Hula Kula. After trying the bass players Alan Watt and Chris Brain (Tense, NOS) Hula recorded the impressive debut album Cut From Inside with Mark Brydon (Chakk, Moloko). Ingredients like cut ups, steady rhythms, and paranoia vocals were blended together into a unique white funky sound. Cut From Inside originally came out on Red Rhino Records in 1983. One year earlier, the first EP under the name Hula was released, entitled Black Pop Workout. It was mostly recorded at Cabaret Voltaire's Western Works studio. This re-issue collects all of Hula's earliest works prior to the seminal second album Murmur. Remastered by Martin Bowes for this CD."
