Colour Haze Albums to be Reissued; Touring with My Sleeping Karma

I always like posting news about Colour Haze, both because it means the band are active and working and because it gives me an excuse to also include a track by them. As you can see by the live version of “Grace” from Germany last year, I’m only too happy to take advantage. For what it’s worth, the accompanying update from guitarist/vocalist Stefan Koglek which came courtesy of the latest Elektrohasch Schallplatten newsletter is pretty noteworthy, especially for anyone who’s missed out of their albums Los Sounds de Krauts, Periscope, C02 and Ewige Blumenkraft, since they’re all being reissued through Elektrohasch on CD and vinyl.

To celebrate the 10th birthday of the label, a slew of other records will also come out again that are detailed below, and Colour Haze also start a tour with My Sleeping Karma next week and have some fest dates lined up for the fall, including the golly-I-wish-I-could-see-that Keep it Low fest.

News from Elektrohasch:

Colour Haze

We are working on the rereleases of our old and mostly long time unavailable albums. I started remixing Los Sounds De Krauts and I`m surprised myself how much the soundquality of the old digital recordings can be improved by mixing on our fine analogue gear. I`m working steadily song by song but it will take some time until everything is finished.

Next week we`ll remaster Ewigen Blumenkraft – unfortunately we don`t have the multitrack recordings of this one anymore. It will be released pretty soon though in autumn. For CO2 and Periscope we have to check the available data to see if a remix or only a remaster is possible. All records will be released on CD and vinyl. We`ll adjust the artwork so the original precious collector items won`t loose value.

There won`t be any limited editions!

I also intend to release an album with Duna Jam live recordings and a collection of songs which have been unreleased or only on special formats or compilations. So in the next months step by step a lot of new old records by Colour Haze will be released.

10-Years-Elektrohasch

For the 10th anniversary of Elektrohasch I intend several rereleases on vinyl. As with the old Colour Haze material it`s not so easy sometimes to get the old masters and artwork data. From October the following sold out LPs will be reprinted:

EH 115-2 – Hypnos 69 – The Eclectic Measure LP (single sleeve, no FOC)
EH 122-2 – Causa Sui – Free Ride (without the 7” of the limited issues)
EH 139 – Causa Sui – Summer Sessions 3LP
EH 147 – The Machine – Drie DLP
EH 151 – Cherry Choke – A Night In The Arms Of Venus LP
EH 152 – Rotor – Festsaal Kreuzberg LP

Additionally the first and second LP by Rotor will be rereleased in a DLP set.

Several Elektrohasch artists are preparing new albums – more later….

    I wish Colour Haze would come to East Coast U.S.A. Harrisburg/Baltimore area. Nice scene here, much respect. Would love to have seen Colour Haze with Sungrazer, but sadley no more. Sungrazer will be missed. I’m praying brothers and sisters!
