Limited Edition LP in a box with art-prints & booklet.
The announcement of the relaunch of the German label Hit Thing (based out of Hamburg) comes with some anticipation regarding some of the rare titles they released from 2000-2007. At the starting gate is MORPHOSA HARMONIA, the duet album between Thomas Wydler, longtime drummer-alumni of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds and Die Haut, and Toby Dammit, also known as Larry Mullins, who has since joined the Bad Seeds as well. MORPHOSA HARMONIA was originally released in 2004 on CD only. A vinyl release was planned, but the label closed doors, thus the album retreated into the shadow unknown to many. MORPHOSA HARMONIA has a two-sided structure in almost every aspect of the project. The 11-song set was culled from a large body of musical sketches by Thomas Wydler in progress in the early 2000's. Wydler gathered an amazing cast of musicians, including Kristof Hahn (SWANS, Les Hommes Sauvages), Jochen Arbeit (Einsturzende Neubauten, Die Haut, Automat), Yoyo Rahm (SWANS), Beate Bartel (Liaisons Dangereuses, Mania D, Matador) and Martin Peter (Die Haut). All the music was recorded in Berlin. Thomas Wydler and Toby Dammit, longtime close friends searching for a project together, combined their tastes, talent and humor on these 11 sketches.
