well, im not sure really. haven't listened to the first one in a long long time..and i think i only listened to it once. but my impression is that this one is by far more minimalistic...if no one gives you a proper answer, i'll give it a listen when i get home and let you know afterwards!

haha hey thanks! :)
i think with the minimalistic part you may have answered my question anyway.
when the first one came out i didn't know what to expect (i wasn't familiar with the hafler trio) and at first was a bit dissapointed by the minimalism of it all. after giving it some time it grew on me immensly and is one of my favorite records. so now perhaps the second one will satisfy what i was originally looking for...

Yeah I got this a couple of weeks back, listened to it a couple of times and yeah it's nice in places.
I actually preferred the first disk because of one really mental 5 minute stretch.
It's a bit too leftfooted for everyone else i know so im glad I have someone to talk to about it.

i was surprised there were still copies available, since it's a very limited release apperantly..
both discs have some fantastic moments, but the second one wins it for me because of the long dark part in the last third..
any idea if that info about 1000 copies is correct? hard to imagine it's still not sold out if that's true..

Yeah I thought I was gonna struggle to get a cut....Boomkat have a habit of telling you that it's in stock then saying you can't have it a few days later.
Warpmart says "it's limited to 500 copies worldwide of which we have as many as we could get, so be quick!"
I think it was quite a low key release, I didn't see any hype for it, and infact didn't notice it until it had been out over a week.
Im playing the second disk again now, I think it's gonna be a grower!

yeah, it was mentioned very few times..even when you make a search in google..odd
and it's definitely a grower..you hear something new to it each time you put it on.

what sort of pressings do most idm cds get? 'cause i'm pretty accustomed to runs of 500 and 1000 these days... none of the hafler shit will sell out quickly because he puts out so much...
