"This recording is based on the suggestions (direct or indirect)
made personally by many people, of whom the most important are:
Annie Spinkle/Anya, Willem De Ridder, Mr. Ronald, Michael von
Hausswolff, Helena A*berg, Berglind Hafsteind≤ttir, Joseph Kramer,
Beatrice Eggers, Marion Delforge, Jon Wozencroft, Ingrid Willemse,
Leif Elggren, John Duncan, Mike Harding, Alisa/Gorta, Adi Newton,
Teresa Castello, Steven Stapleton, Saskia Wolda, Genesis
P-Orridge, and last but not least, an unknown woman in a VD clinic
in Amsterdam. All other ideas fermented within the collective
enchanted loom of the H3O. Back cover photograph of the neophyte
his very self during the induction phase of this project by the
man who failed to look like a lobster, Carl Abrahamsson. Front
cover photo by the Goddess of the photographic arts (and who knows
what else?) Annika S÷derholm. Other photos by QvΘ Thet (for it is
he). Hafler Trio Logo by Mark O. Sleeve grounding: Suitcase
Studios (falling roof devision). Design by Jon Wozencroft
(art?work). Thanks are due to all those whose reality tunnels have
meshed with ours, and below it all, 100% support in all things and
all ways. To those who will never hear this ù "my house has many
rooms".
Dedicated to Monique von Cleef and Ciro Imarco (who knows if they
will ever know why). FUCK was mixed at Studio Syrland, Reykavik,
STEIM and Suitcase Studios, Amsterdam, by A.M.McKenzie, Zbigniew
Karkowski and Hilmar ╓rn Hilmarsson. This recording is designed to
be played at maximum volume, believe it or not. It is important
that your CD player is in strict accordance with left and right
channel connections: otherwise we cannot be held responsible for
the (inevitable) consequences!"

"The are two groups of people that will buy this album: those who
have every disc HT have ever thought about putting out and those
who don't have any HT release at all and are curious about the
album's content - I guess it's safe to say that the name of this
album and the cover artwork alone will attract a lot of music
fans. One of the shortest HT studio ventures so far, originally
issued in 1992 on the Touch label as the second part of a trilogy
and then re-issued in 1997 for its US release, "The F album"
collects two experimental pieces which have a running time of 15
minutes each. The booklet's extensive lines notes tell us about
the origin of the music, the involved persons, and the intentions
of these two tracks: As HT mastermind A. M. McKenzie explains, the
overall purpose of the disc was to bring the listener into a state
of concentration, which is best achieved by listening to this disc
at maximum volume and in strict accordance with left and right
channel connections. That probably means that one listen to this
record on headphones in a darkened room will be the best way to
demonstrate this project's strength, separating it from many other
ambient or "electronic listening" album which are primarily
designed for relaxation and dissipation. There's also a lot of
insight into the music itself and the way the various sonic
elements and sounds were arranged, which in itself once again
confirms that HT's idea of bringing together non-musical elements,
several treated vocal samples, electronic sounds, and great
production skills marks the raison d'etre of avant-garde music.
Whether that level of artistic integrity is enough for an engaging
listening session is certainly another matter altogether - and
there are a few things which prevent "The F album" from being
numbered along the best ambient discs of the '90s. "Part 1" (there
are no track titles, of course!) starts things off quite
promisingly with menacing, processed guitar feedback which
immediately reminded me of Main's output. Then, the piece suddenly
evolves into a fascinating sonic landscape, consisting of various
layers of electronics which are combined with a muted but
insistent bass drum and several bodily noises provided by
McKenzie. Although HT probably attempt to include a few too many
ideas, the hyperactive nature of the music makes clear that this
is pretty much the opposite of Maurice Ravel's famous erotic
composition "Bolero"! About six minutes in, some of the sonic
elements fade away and the track becomes a little more
atmospheric. The rest of the piece, however, is largely
forgettable due to something which HT generally avoid in their
other releases - overt repetition. And the simple trick of
gradually slowing down the master tape to bring the cut to an end
is a bit annoying, just as the fact that the periodically
reappearing, high-pitched noises do not make for a pleasant
listening at high volume. "Part 2" opens with dark and harrowing
industrial noises before looped, slow breathes (again, emanating
from McKenzie) which alternate between the stereo channels are
introduced. Perhaps a little more accessible than the first track,
there are nevertheless too few ideas for its 15-minute length,
although the quiet second half of the cut demands careful
listening and features some nice subtle drones, random
interjections, and choir-like effects. After several listenings I
still cannot say that I actually 'enjoy' "The F album" - I'm not
quite sure that is possible because there are much better
'illbient' albums out there - but it's certainly an intriguing
release from one of avant-garde music's most prolific outfits.
Well worth picking up, but if you expect the music to be as
exciting as the whole concept behind "The F album", then you might
be a bit disappointed."
