Hydra Health: A Hydra Head Rehabilitation Project (And All-Encompassing Thread)


Recommended Posts

Don't have time to make a new thread right now, but Hydra Head has put up some Khanate represses in standard and deluxe versions.

Beat me to it  ;) 

Also, different variants available for Europe http://eu.kingsroadmerch.com/hydra-head-records/

Hm, what would be the most limited from merchtable?

I definitely understand Khanate now & am upset with myself for not doing so sooner... S/T was the perfect intro to them.

 

Has anyone ordered the reissues? Any thoughts/comments?

I am mainly wondering if the artwork is the same across the board for the jackets, sleeves, and inserts. I checked out Things Viral on discogs & that has some damn beautiful artwork going on inside.

I don't have earlier pressings to compare them with, but I'm very happy with the reissues.  The S/T is superior in my eyes due to it including No Joy and the remix.  Packaging and LPs are heavy duty (like most HH stuff) and they sound real nice.  I haven't had time for the Things Viral live LP, but the S/T live disk seemed to be worth the extra money.

Excellent, thanks for the info! :)

S/T is what I'm looking to pick up, would you mind telling me if it is a 3LP gatefold? Or is the bonus 12" in it's own jacket?

2xLP gatefold and the 12" is in a white label sleeve with a small sticker with tracklisting and what not.  The bonus 12"s are real bare bones.

Looks like Pelican - City of Echoes is the next release.  2xLP with a live show on the second disc.  James Plotkin remaster.  3 colors available, $20.99 + shipping.

Live LP and remaster aren't enough for me to pick up another copy, but cool for those who don't already have this!

If, for some reason, you're browsing this thread and don't know who Mare was, or you just don't own their one and only record, fucking buy it.

 

It's one of my favorite EPs ever, they couldn't possibly have been a more criminally underrated band.

 

Just buy it, don't even listen to it first. If you're a fan of Hydra Head you'll like it.

I am so totally grabbing a copy of this. I managed to get a silver/grey copy pretty cheap back in like 2010 or so then I recently traded it for a black copy and played it all the way through for the first time in a long time and realized how much I really loved the album. I'm excited to hear the live LP but mostly I want to hear what's new about the mastering on the original album.

That's actually a really good price, too.  Especially from Hydra.

Seriously. A stupendously good price.
