*100 copies limited edition* Shame File Music and Albert’s Basement present a reissue of Ad Hoc’s 1980 release "Distance". Ad Hoc (James Clayden, Chris Knowles & David Wadelton, and at times David Brown) were an obscure Melbourne outfit of the late 1970s/early 80s who stood curiously apart of from many of their more-storied contemporaries, but whose haunting ambient instrumentals sound remarkably contemporary four decades later.
"Distance", their sole release besides some compilation tracks, has been sourced from the original 4 channel master reel tape, and is now available digitally and on a limited edition of pro-produced cassettes with risograph cover.
Format
Original master tape digitised by Crystal Mastering. Risograph cover printed by Glom Press in Thornbury, Victoria.
