Clearly they're a seminal band.

This thread needs to be cut because the uncut version is too long.

I categorize this music not as "difficult" but as "music that is hard to listen to on CD but would be awesome to see performed live!"

[JKL2000]

I've gotten a tremendous amount of pleasure from this.

I would categorize it as music that is strong for a while, but peters out, (pun intended, ) and ends pretty limply.

I don't think that's the way they cut it.

Thanks for the Penis tip.

Said the prostitute to the leper.

OH NO, NEWS JUST IN: UK FORMER BAND HET SUES DUTCH BAND HET FOR SHITLOADS OF MEAN MONEYS!!!!! GIVAZZARNAMEBACK YA'TWATS!!, THEY SAY!

Wouldn't that be the other way 'round? The Dutch Het had their big hit in 1965.

But, but... the UK Het never enjoyed any hit, not even a tiny one, so they're skinned and obviously more in need of bread here.

Unless Willy Steve is donning a complete makeover deluxe package triple CD with foldout poster and lotsa bonus and foreword by Neal Stolt's ol' grandma Olga!!!!!

Now THAT would surely render them "seminal".

[Lieto]

GREAT album! The music for the hanging of a minister

[JKL2000]

I never sausage an album!

[battema]

So....got "Let's Het" on Friday. Weird first impression: reminded me of The Fall of Us All by Steve Tibbitts, only with the guitar tracks muted.

Very dense stuff...but also pretty interesting. Have it playing behind me right now in fact.

Weird footnote: among the backing singers for one of the tracks is "Fish." Not sure if it is THAT Fish or not...

I received Let's Het a couple of days ago and i concur with Mr.Battema;it is rather dense and clotted but interesting.It is definitely a candidate for more listens;i'm hooked.Poisons is ,for me, the most challenging track on the cd.

It's not him.

Relax .

[Camelogue]

Is there an extended version?

Probably hard to get though.

[Kavus Torabi]

Finally just clicked on this and very happy to see it's the Het song.
Let's Het is a classic. One of those select favourite albums I have on LP AND CD.

I've played Penis on my stupid radio show a few times.
Right on Frank.

I suspect I would have played it more often if I had the LP; it'd be easier to portion out the Music in 20+ minutes sittings. I really cherish the AdHoc CD, but the whole of it is exhaustive. Of course I COULD try turning it off in the middle, but I somehow respect this kind of work too much to succeed in so.

[Prehensile Pencil]

Hahahaha ! I hadn't been here in a while, I open up the main page, I see the thread title - and who made the original post - and JUST KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT, what it was all about.....

My favorite song on one of my favorite albums. It was the second disc we issued, after the entire collection of MCCB. It initially sold like hotcakes, but has been cool for some years now, so I'm glad to see some interest. HET are greatly under-appreciated, in my book, and deserve to be heard by adventurous listeners, who can find it at Wayside. If not, PM me, and I'll see what can be done.

Why is this thread so long and hard, to understand?

'Cause it's above most people's *head*.

[progeezer]

It's always reassuring to confirm that erudite humor still reigns supreme here at Ridgemont High.

[aplodon]

It was ages since I played this. Good to be reminded.

Need to put it on as soon as possible, i. e. now.

Geoff Leigh's Chemical Bank in particular is a pretty amazing little slice of that period. I love that little record.
