High Dependency Unit - Memento Mori (2000)
Another Tardis - that is, it's much bigger on the inside looking out - of an EP from HDU sees the Dunedin noisemeisters getting just as creative with the low end of the decibel scale as they usually do with the top. Heck, they even jangle a bit.
That means opening track A Copy of Yourself chimes acoustically and hypnotically before throwing a very big switch. The second, Amino, is swathed in translucent delay-effects guitar, helping make for space rock you can almost dance to.
Meanwhile the two instrumentals of the four-tracks head for the band's usual thrilling, noisy orbits, the closing Further starting off pleasantly ambient before a guitar enters sounding like Hendrix reworking the theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Russell Baillie 4/5 - NZ Herald

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
