I'm looking for a vinyl version of Hostile Ambient Takeover, but I can seem to find one. Does anyone know if this album was ever issued on vinyl? Also, if anyone knows somewhere where I can purchase the album, I'd greatly appreciate it

not as an album on one or two LPs. only released on vinyl as a set of (7) 7"s with one song from the album on the A side and a cover song as the B side. except for the final track on the album, which was split between both sides due to length.
scroll down to singles in 2003 on this discography page to see them. they're on youtube.

don't despair. they have been repressing and rereleasing things like this and they know fans want this album on 12". :D

eheh... that would be cool even though i'd be a bit scared about the artwork, after seeing recent Melvins reissues. i hope they'd keep the original in case

yeah, you're right. Ipecac should do a good job :wink:
They'll do fine with the artwork. What I'd be worried about is gonna be the quality of the actual vinyl pressing.

I went back to HAT for the first time a week or so ago. An absolute monster Melvins album this one! Quite possibly the best they have ever done. Kevin is awesome on this. I think my only niggle is that slightly odd and a bit tacky sounding keyboard run that quickly occurs and kicks off the second part of 'The Fool The Meddling Idiot'. Im never sure if that is included totally seriously or as a bit of a tongue in cheek moment.

Are you absolutely serious? You're absolutely serious.. #-o
That is possibly the most straight edge thing you've ever said. :lol:
That Casio keyboard stuff is like the best thing the Melvins ever recorded or wrote!!! :o

Of course. Im sure im not the only one who kinda dislikes that. It doesn't really "fit" there for me and conjures up things i really don't like. Yes "Casio" as you say is spot on there really. It just sounds very naff to me. The rest is fine prior and after that point, but that keyboard is horrid!
That keyboard sorta grew on me. Sort of a Throbbibg Gristle moment from what I recall. It's been a while since I've heard it, though. Still my least favorite part of the record overall, but even a 4 minute guitar noise solo wouldn't be a huge improvement here. It's all a waiting game, this song. At it's core it's almost like a GPT song played at quarter speed with a ten minute intro.
i'm with Dump!
