Review by Cheryl Bryant-Rushing

The Hafler Trio's "Exactly As I Say Special Edition" is a mesmerizing and thought-provoking album that showcases the group's experimental and avant-garde sound. The album features a collection of tracks that incorporate a variety of sounds and instruments, including electronic beats, ambient drones, and spoken word samples.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "How to Reform Mankind," which features a haunting spoken word passage set against a backdrop of eerie soundscapes. Another standout track is "The Dirty Fire," which features a pulsating beat and distorted vocals that create a sense of unease and tension.

About The Hafler Trio

Originally a duo formed in the early '80s by Andrew McKenzie and Chris Watson (with the third part of the 'trio' being a fictional scientist named Dr. Edward Moolenbeek), Hafler Trio quickly became the solo project of McKenzie (although often working with guest artists) with a strong focus on the absurd and multimedia work, recordings often having carefully and elaborately designed packaging. Chris Watson went on to a critically regarded career as a field recording artist and sound engineer.
