The Big Freeze Out

 

Hula - Freeze Out [RED T64 UK 1986 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Back to the Hula re-rips and the first of two twelve inch singles today. Freeze Out was a development of the earlier track Sour Eden, initially recorded for a VPRO radio session in The Netherlands (to save you checking, only the live version was included on 1000 Hours) and a BBC Radio John Peel session. Both of those session tracks appear of this record.

The Hula sound was continually developing, whilst still using regular instruments such as live drums, bass and horns, more & more electronics became more prominent as the releases progressed. This direction was pointing the band towards the growing indie music club dancefloor, however I'm not too sure how you dance to this track. Not A Second Glance was recorded in Holland and reflected more on their early Cabaret Voltaire influenced work.
